From: lizhou zhu on 25 Jul 2010 22:33 West End Hair opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London on September 27, 1968 with the same creative team as the Broadway production. The opening night was delayed until the abolition of theatre censorship in England under the Theatres Act 1968.[37] As with other early productions, the London show added a sprinkling of local allusions and other minor departures from the Broadway version.[38] The original London tribe included Sonja Kristina, Paul Nicholas, Richard O'Brien, Melba Moore, Elaine Paige, Paul Korda, Marsha Hunt, Floella Benjamin, Alex Harvey , Oliver Tobias, J. Vincent Edwards and Tim Curry. This was Curry's first full-time theatrical acting role, where he met future Rocky Horror Show collaborator O'Brien.[39] Hair's engagement in London surpassed the Broadway production, running for 1,997 performances[38] until its closure was forced by the roof of the theatre collapsing in July 1973.[40] [edit] Early international productions The job of leading the foreign language productions of Hair was given to Bertrand Castelli, Butler's partner and executive producer of the Broadway show.[41] Castelli was a writer/producer who traveled in Paris art circles and rubbed elbows with Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau. Butler described him as a "crazy showman... the guy with the business suit and beads".[42] Castelli made the decision to do the show in the local language of each country at a time when Broadway shows were always done in English.[41] The translations followed the original script closely, and the Broadway stagings were used. Each script contained various local references, such as street names and the names or depictions of local politicians and celebrities. Castelli produced companies in France, Germany, Mexico and other countries, sometimes also directing the productions.[41] A German production, directed by Castelli,[41] opened in 1968 in Munich;[43] the tribe included Donna Summer and Liz Mitchell (of Boney M). A successful Parisian production of Hair opened on June 1, 1969. [44] The original Australian production premiered in Sydney on 6 June 1969. It was produced by Harry M. Miller and directed by Jim Sharman, who also designed the production. The tribe included Keith Glass and then Reg Livermore as Berger, John Waters as Claude and Sharon Redd as The Magician. Redd was one of six African-Americans brought to Australia to provide a racially-integrated tribe.[45][46] The production broke local box-office records and ran for two years, but because of some of the language in the show, the cast album was banned in Queensland and New Zealand. It transferred to Melbourne in 1971 and then had a national tour. The production also marked the stage debut of Boston-born Australian vocalist Marcia Hines.[46] Another notable production was in the former Yugoslavia (Belgrade), the first Hair to be produced in a communist country.[47] Directed by local female producer-director Mira Trailović[48] and attended by president Tito, the Belgrade production was a favorite of authors Rado and Ragni, with Ragni declaring "there's no middle class prejudices here". Local references added to the script included barbs aimed at Mao Ze-dong as well as Albania, Yugoslavia's traditional rival.[41] By 1970, Hair was a huge financial success, and nineteen productions had been staged outside of North America, including productions in Norway, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, Finland, Italy, Israel, Japan, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria.[28] According to Billboard, the various productions of the show were raking in almost $1 million every ten days, and royalties were being collected for 300 different recordings of the show's songs, making it "the most successful score in history as well as the most performed score ever written for the Broadway stage."[49] cheap ghd straighteners with best quality and free shipping cheap ghd straighteners http://www.ghdtradezone.com cheap ghd http://www.ghdtradezone.com ghd hair straighteners http://www.ghdtradezone.com ghd hair http://www.ghdtradezone.com GHD http://www.ghdtradezone.com Black GHD MK4 Hair Straighter http://www.ghdtradezone.com/black-gh...hter_p298.html GHD Blog http://www.ghdtradezone.com/blog Blue Serenity-The ghd new limited edition colour collection http://www.ghdtradezone.com/blue-serenity_p295.html GHD 09 New Style Pink Gift Set http://www.ghdtradezone.com/ghd-09-n...-set_p308.html GHD IV Kiss - Pink Hair Straighteners Limited Edition http://www.ghdtradezone.com/ghd-iv-k...tion_p306.html GHD IV MINI Styler http://www.ghdtradezone.com/GHD-IV-M...yler_p303.html GHD IV Salon Styler http://www.ghdtradezone.com/GHD-IV-S...yler_p302.html GHD IV Styler http://www.ghdtradezone.com/-ghd-iv-styler_c2224 GHD IV Styler http://www.ghdtradezone.com/ghd-iv-styler_p301.html?
