How dare they try to end this beauty...
Click to viewAfter that video you can probably guess how that night went.
Yes, yesterday night it finally happened: the last day of Hair. How can I start to describe it?
Let's say that I was very very nervous and anxious, and I knew I was going to cry at some point, it was going to be a tough night. Hair always has been one of my FAVORITE musicals, and the brazilian production was just unbelievably good. Excellent, really, and I was going to watch it for the very last time.
Aquarius kinda set the mood of how the night was going to be. Karen Hils as Dionne was impeccable as always singing with a very strong voice in her dazzling blue kimono. The crowd ovated at the end of the number and you could see in the actor's expressions that it was going to be a very emotionally tough night for them as well.
After Igor Rickli (Berger) collected tons and tons of money (dollars, reais, argentinean pesos by yours truly XD) he started to sing Donna. Another ovation. Troughout the two acts he was looking with so much care for Hugo (Claude). It was very sweet. He wasn't struggling to not cry as him, but on Let the Sunshine In he broke down. It was so hearbreaking! XD
The adorable Marcel Octavio (Woof) was in very high spirits. He delivered probably his best Sodomy performance. And on the beginning of Going Down he just couldn't stop touching Igor! And he was just being his adorable pretty self with his Mick Jagger poster.
Reynaldo Machado (Hud) was in one of his best days, love him! And FINALLY my dear beloved Hugo Bonemer (Claude) opened his mouth to say who he was and to sing Manchester England. Another ovation, he was holding up to not cry. Actually, I didn't noticed it in all songs but there were some that you could see he was struggling. While on stage still singing Manchester England, he found me in the 3rd row, and when he could come to the audience he came to mess with me, and gave such a strong hug, that I tought I was going to cry right there. But I could get a hold on myself and didn't let the tears slip. After all it was only act one!
Well, on the end of the second act, after his trip when he is talking about his future with Berger, he finally let the tears slide. And the true tears just gave a much higher emotional impact. For me at least. Stupid Hugo finally managed to broke me. I just broke and cried till the end =P
Leticia Colin (Jeanie) was perfect as usual. She didn't cry but she looked very sad at the end.
Now Carol Puntel was a big surprise for me. I actually found her not annoying at all yesterday. I don't know how, but she managed to stay in key and not exagerate on her normally annoying higher notes.
Tatih Köhler (Crissy) is just one of my favorite actresses ever. She is very talented and her voice is a voice of an angel. She only cried at her song Frank Mills. It was one of the most avationed numbers and one of the most emotional for me.
Danilo Timm (Margaret Mead) was just stupendous. By far his best performance, he just went on stage without saying a word and was already applaused. Really really applaused. I love his Margaret. I LOVE him. My mom adores him too, in her words: "If I were his age and a gay man I'd totally hit on him."
