PRIZES:

3rd Prize –HAIR Window card

1 – Emily, “I will let the sun shine in on the anniversHAIRy of the show that continually makes me feel like i can never stop singing dancing and smiling. i wish i could travel close by to manchester england england over to london to see the original cast rock out, but i’m positive that the new tribe will bring the house down like never before!!!!”

2 – TheNYGalavant, “Singing along with the tribe, courtesy of the CD ;-)

3 – Sophie Y, “I’m celebrating the anniversary by celebrating the gorgeous weather, the beauty of nature (and the cherry blossoms), and listening to cast recording. nonstop.”

4 – Lauren, “Well, as much as Hair impacts my daily life Today I will celebrate it with spreading the love, breaking out of my “control freak” mind set and ease my way to easy going fun loving Hippie I wish I could be in Hair. I’ll pass time with my lovely hair CD on the beach since I am on break and commemorate all of the wonderful things that the tribe has accomplish in just one short year. From opening and moving to london to the equality march in Washington DC and even the idea of posting the dance parties through their website every day. Little things like that make me personally (Since I dont live in NYC) thankful for the connection I can get to the tribe. Much Love –Lauren”

5 – Brian, “I will celebrate by blasting the soundtrack in my car and singing along (not caring as everyone around me is judging me)!!!”

6 -Dani Litwak, “I am only 14 years old but HAIR has absolutely consumed my life. To say I’m obsessed is quite an understatement. I listen to the entire album everyday and I go around my house singing it (which is not very pleasant to my family because I don’t have much of a voice). I am always on the Hair website, twitter and facebook waiting for new stories and news. Whenever I go to the city I make a point to pass by the Al Hirschfeld. Just the presence of the theater allows me to feel a sense of liberty from my everyday life.

It was devastating for me to find out that the original cast was going to London as I am absolutely in love with Gavin Creel (and the rest of the cast as a whole). However, through the many youtube videos I have seen of the new cast I am able to see how very talented they are and I would absolutely love the opportunity to see them.

So how will I celebrate the anniversary? I will be dressing as Claude because as previously stated Gavin is my favorite. My look will be complete with a blueish-white “v”neck tee-shirt and skinny jeans. I also have the love beads in which I will wear proudly alongside a matching headband and feather. I will also continue my daily ritual of dancing and singing along to the music! I LOVE LOVE LOVE HAIR and everything it has done for me in the past year. Happy one year anniversary! <3 <3 <3″

7 – A. Durham, “I plan on celebrating HAIR’s one year anniversary by listening to the broadway cast recording, wearing my peace sign necklace, and entering the HAIR be-in-box lottery when I go to NYC this spring :]”

8 -Elinor Greenly, “i saw hair for the first time in 1974 when we were celebarting our 10th anniversary..had a beautiful day in new york and really enjoyed the show..hoping to win this contest and see it again…”

9 – Andie Cuevas, “<333 love HAIR. I love the message they send, and how fitting it was then and how it is still so important now. I plan/planned/did celebrate Hair by spreading the love and letting the sunshine in. And of course, checking out all the pictures and videos of the festivities and the beautiful crazy party that the show is, haha.”

10 – Allyson Forsythe, “I’m celebrating by getting a review of “HAIR” published in an online magazine called Krash City, and listening to each of my many versions of the soundtrack…. I’ve got ‘em all, except the original London cast, which I’ll be getting soon!”

2nd Prize –HAIR New Broadway Cast Soundtrack

1:  – Erin, “I’m celebrating HAIR’s one year by letting my own hair down after a long day of classes, listening the cast recording, and dancing in the down-pouring of rain that has become a daily thing here lately. I’m not gonna let this cruddy weather rain on my HAIR parade! :)

2: – Lauren, “unintentionally have been blasting the hair album over and over again for a month. i celebrate the anniversary by spreading the love to everyone i encounter every day not just on the 30th. peace”

3:  – Mary Arruda, “I want to spread love, peace, and good vibes to anyone I meet! But especially those who are suffering through hard times right now. They need our thoughts of hope and unity more than ever. And I’m going to let the sunshine in through the constant rain that poured down on Rhode Island the past few days (including Hair’s birthday yesterday) and keep a positive thought for everyone who had to leave their homes because of the flooding. I’m going to be super grateful for everything and everyone in my life and never forget to smile. And of course, listen to Hair on repeat! Peace and love!”

4: Stephanie Hersh, “Even though I only saw HAIR once, it was an amazing experience from the front row! I always listen to the music! The experience and the message is amazing and I think everyone should see it! It is a Broadway show like no other! I hope to see it again! Happy Birthday HAIR!!!!”

5: Kara, “HAiR, for me has been such an enormous part of my life for the past year. Almost a year ago (wow, time has flown…) I was cast as Jeanie in a tiny production of HAiR, before I’d even seen the INCREDIBLE Broadway cast. Being a part of my own tribe changed, and continues to change my life in millions of tiny and substantial ways. It has helped me to find myself as an artist, a person, and a grateful inhabitant of this beautiful universe. Now having seen both the Aquarius and Starshine tribes, I am continually humbled by their passion, talent, and outpouring of love, and wish them all the sweetest of first anniversaries! In celebration, I will continue to practice (and share!) all of the life lessons this movement has taught me: be grateful; enjoy this moment; stand up for what is right; search for truth and beauty; and of course, spread love- because what could possibly be more important?”

1st Prize – Grey Logo T-Shirt, CD, and pair of tickets

Donna Taylor, “I plan to play my original Hair Broadway alblum on my record player over and over.”
