5.0 out of 5 stars As incredible as ever!, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

Although some say that Hair is seriously dated, I cannot believe that. The energy still mesmerizes and the messages still ring true today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 30, 2005

By	A. K. McAnallen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is becoming a favorite of mine at record speed. Not only do I absolutely love the movie, but the music is spectacular. I got my whole family addicted to the movie & the soundtrack, but who could blame me (or them)?? It's irresistable! The cast is fantastic, I don't even think I could pick a favorite song. If you want a musical that lightens your spirit, touches your heart, and gives you great music to cruise on the road to... this is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read your Shakespeare, September 24, 1998

By A Customer

To the music fan from Minnesota: the "lyrics" are from Shakespeare. It probably helps to note that the writers of "Hair" also wrote a musical based on Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen From Verona." They were well-versed, so to speak.

Unlike the reviewer from Videohound's Soundtracks, I actually like this album, just as I like the movie. Twyla Tharp's choreography is stunning, and Treat Williams, John Savage (John Savage can sing? Who knew?), Beverly D'Angelo and the others are quite delightful. Milos Forman is a superb filmmaker, but I think (sadly) musicals have somehow gone out of style, and it takes a brave director to tackle one (witness Alan Parker's EVITA).
