Special Mission- find the nude scene in HAIR

[susansusan]

I've posted this here, because ideally there will be a video of this!

Firstly, Hair is a famous musical, with a famous nude scene. Secondly, it is very popular with students, and University drama groups- there are several productions a year. Thirdly, there are lots of great vids here of students nude on stage (games, initiatons etc) and also Nude theatre productions. BUT I've never found footage of the nude scene from hair... it must be out there, surely?

Footage from the play is everywhere- except the nude scene, damn it! This is somewhat of a "Holy Grail".

It can be good, full frontal mixed sex nudity too- often performed by amateurs.

Right, here is the clip (this itself is part 2) that builds up to the stripping scene. The music builds the tempo, and as you can see near the end they JUST start to strip... but where is part three! There obviously IS a part three...

Remarkable that not a single proper clip can be found... This play is on very often, probably the second or third most famous play with nudity (first being Oh Calcutta, a rival for second being Rocky Horror).

Yeah- this is a personal "quest" of mine. I saw Hair last year in Keswick, Cumbria (England) done by second year University drama students- before hand they were playing rounders (a game like basesball) outside, and so that was cool too- chatted to some of them etc.

But it really is an iconic nude scene- one of the most famous of all time. It has all the right elements, too. Stripping, live on stage, usually done by either professional actors or amateurs (students)- ie not phoney stripping, mixed nudity, full frontal nudity....

And yet, to my knowledge, there exists no footage on the web.

In the meantime, and so I'm not just bumping a thread with text, sit back and enjoy another clip from JUMPIN JAKS- an onstage strip game. I hope it hasn't been uploaded already. Sorry for the limited quality, but its the best I can do.

Has the Jumpin Jaks clip with closepegs on naked bodies game been posted here?

Found something a little better, but a LONG way from perfect. This is a wide view of the scene, with lots of singing and dancing- There is some topless stuff going on here... I think! It isn't easy to tell.

But anyway, this is the scene, as it happens at the end of the first half of the play. However, it is an interpretation- it certainly is NOT the "classic" nude scene.

From about 1:20 is the scene proper "Hare Krishna." The beginning of an iconic, ground breaking and world famous public/performance nudity scene.... of which no good video footage exists!


Edit= notice no attachment? Thats because I'm struggling to upload at the moment. I'll upload as a reply below... very soon.

Agreed, susansusan, this is something I've wondered about as well...

I am a big fan of nudity onstage so I have been following this thread...

I just ordered a bootleg of a broadway production of Hair. I am hoping that it will have a decent shot of the nude scene... If it does I will rip it and load it here for you guys... It should be here in a couple of weeks...

[patrick_kevin]

i know the movie has lots of nudity.... including som great shots of susan serandon in a skinny dipping enf scene

[Maxpowerr11]

Well, the video I got was of a concert version of Hair.... No nudity...

Sorry guys, I finally thought I was gonna have something useful to contribute... Oh well, there is always 2009...

And Patrick_Kevin, I believe you mean Beverly D'Angelo... who does look great in the movie... but its not the thrill of live stage nudity...

Well, that confirms it. There definitely is a conspiracy surrounding this nude scene. Somebody's gotta take down the hippie cabal.

Thanks for trying, though.
