As many avid theatre fans and festival goers alike will know, last week the cast of HAIR went along to the Latitude festival to show their wares to all of the hippies congregated over by the lake!

Quite a big deal – the first time that a West End musical has ever been invited to play to a festival crowd at Latitude (usually renowned for less mainstream artists), and from what I hear, they went down well (despite a bit of a static audience from the look of the footage!).

Absolutely the right venue and idea for this production in my opinion, and, as I’ve ranted about before, I’m surprised that there haven’t been any attempts at open air appearances this summer across London!
