Yes - Players by the Sea in Jacksonville Beach - 'pulled out all the stops' for 'HAIR'.....the tribal love rock musical of the 60's. On stage for the first time on broadway -- 1967 -- scandalous :O...and still is :)!
One of our most enjoyable productions......Saturday night -
the performance of 'HAIR.'
The talent, the voices, the creativity amidst the performers, the backstage, the front stage, the upstage. A mystical and very nostalgic visit to the 'Age of Aquarius' 60's and 70's.
Livng in San Francisco and then Key West, Florida during that period of time -- I was a Flower Child myself.....and really felt the throw-back to those times. Good Morning Star Shine!'
The staff and crowd (including Nikki and Richie) were decked out in their 'hippie-finest' -- the stage was tie-dyed; the walls were filled with Love and Peace Graffitti that we all could add to with big chunks of chalks. Our faces were painted, flowers were passed out to the crowd -- all just the beginning of the interactcive play we were about to see.
As the actors took us back and through those times again -- they also played with us -- danced with us -- and jostled our memories until they succeeded in getting us 'out of the box' and Let the Sunshine In.

Thank you Players for that 'trip' back to the days of "The Hippie Life."
What a great time ...................... we even could buy a 'self tie-dying TShirt -- Wow! How easy is it now? :)
For sure, 'I Believe in Love.'
