Hair pulls good review

WEATHERLEY

THE ACTORS climb on the
stage in street clothes, mill
around as though they are
backstage, change clothes,
put on hippy wigs, and Hair

begins. The show ends with a
corresponding epilogue of
modern voices, ending with
Doc Harris.

This is Vancouver Musical
Theatre’s way of telling us
that Hair is a relevant pro-
duction for today’s au-

dience, suggesting that
people's attitudes have
changed far more than the
world has.

Hair is VMT's_ seventh
production and throughout
their short, but successful
history, they have proven

themselves a company worth
noting.

Although this is certainly
not one of their finest shows,
it is worth seeing for some of
the performances alone:
especially among the
triangle of Sheila (played by

IMo-

presents
Clemente...

Lelani Marrell, a talented
product of the North Shore),
John Payne, an_ excellent
Claude, and Mark Hopkins
as the irrepressible Berger.
The back-up band, Rio, is
another treat. And if the
back-up cast is a little
amateur, and the men’s wigs
are a little fake, at least they
are stronger than the plot.
Hair continues tomorrow
through Saturday at North
Van Centennial Theatre at
8:30 p.m. Thursday and Fri-
day, 7:00 p.m. and 10:00
p.m. Saturday. There will
