HAIR - Shakespeare in the Park

Well, we went to the Delcorte Theater in Central Park on Saturday night for the Public Theatre's production of HAIR. And can we just tell you? We are STILL talking about the show. The cast had amazing voices, and were just so talented and energetic. The open-aired theater was the perfect venue for this production. Such a true New York City experience.
How were we lucky enough to score these free, sought-after tickets without having to head into the park at 6am to wait in line all day? Well, Maria (surprise surprise) had an "in" for us. Saturday night's performance was sign language interpreted - 5 interpreters stood in front of approx 300 deaf theatergoers, as well as others in the community. Additionally, Maria was working too, interpreting for a deaf-blind member of the audience. Oh, and we have to admit.... We saw a great many friends that night, and it was kind of cool getting all the congratulatory wishes about the pregnancy since it seemed we had to keep it quiet for so long!

Really and truly -
We LOVED this show. We have been singing it all weekend, have the cast recording downloaded on the iPod, and have talked about it nonstop! Some reviews: NY Times, Theater Mania, NY Magazine, and Time Out. Our suggestion? Grab a blanket, wine and cheese, a good book, and wait in line for this show. It is worth it.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars.
