Despite the unfortunate but inevitable aging of
Aquarius, Blank Canvas Theatre's production of "Hair" has tapped the key ingredient
that made the original Broadway production such a success:
it is extremely likable.

HAIR is a classic musical, which entered the
theatre into an era of reflection of the turbulent era of the 60s and broke
many traditional theatrical formats.
For those who want to relive the era, or who want to generally get an
idea of what was going on during those times, the Blank Canvas staging gives an
opportunity to take a seldom reprised trip through the times. Due to a generation gap in
understanding the true angst of the era, this isn’t a great production, but it
is entertaining.

Taking a big stage production and trying to fit it
in a small theater space is always a risky proposition but due to the energy
and precision of this cast this show works well on a lot of levels. It gives this staging an even more intimate
feel which is what the original creators sought.

Although this production has its flaws (and only a nanosecond of nudity), there's enough radical spirit and go-for-broke youthful energy to light up the stage, and maybe a few bongs.
