WOW SETH!!! *bows to the master* AMAZING I cannot get over the power, belt, tones, quality, and the emotion that they put into this, its a great arrangement. This has always been a favorite song of mine, and when I heard this I just jumped up and down, this put Black Boys to shame haha
I was the artistic producer and the music director/conductor. I did the vocal arrangements by taking the ones I loved from the Broadway show OR transcribing the ones from the movie OR changing them to add some extra sass like in BLACK BOYS, HIPPIE LIFE....or in this song!
Seth, I know this is an older video, but I love how incredibly into it you get. You can tell that this project was truly one of your babies. This soundtrack was one of the best recordings of a musical (concert or not!) to come out in the last decade. It's how I first discovered Raul Esparza. How can we fans ever thank you enough?!
So pretty much I'm obsessed with you and 100% humbled by your ridiculous knowledge and talent when it comes to all things MT. Also, I heart your facial expressions.
This is definately my favorite deconstruction I've watched (which is all the ones on your youtube and site). Not sure why. I just love it! After watching this for the first time months ago, I listened to this song over and over and not just because the Actor's Fund version is my favorite version of Hair!
Wow, crazy. My parents were watching tv when I wanted to fangirl about the FOX Upfronts and last night's Office. I turned to look at the tv AND I SEE YOU! On CashCab. And I was all "I know who that is!" Then I told them about your deconstruction videos and how I've been waiting anxiously for the next one - and here it is! I'm magic. Yet another great deconstruction, Seth! I would go into detail but I'm gonna end up babbling and miss my show (Battlestar Galactica!)
This is great. I've loved Ledisi ever since she came on the scene in 2000. Thanks for the review - I've been listening to the original broadway soundtrack constantly all week - I'm going to buy this ASAP
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but i like black boys from this cd better. Those ladies are so much more controlled, strong, non shouty voices. I appreciate the unbelievable talent of both sets of ladies but i always thought black boys got an unfair shake, white boys is a far superior song in itself. But the 3 who did black boys raised it to amazing levels, and i find myself

Seth please tell me there is recordings of these concerts!!! I know of the Dreamgirls one but I need to see the Hair and Chess ones
Seth is a genius, and I know because I ACTIVELY searched this video just now after not seeing it since probably 2014

Dear gods, how have I gone on so long in the theatre without knowing of you. You could not be more wonderful or adorable. You could not.
Is it just me, or is the back-up harmony for "rubble" GORGEOUS!? C'MON!!

I have listened to this for YEARS. Did NOT know that Ledisi was in it. That explains a LOT!!!!
Once again! I am so inspired to direct this show in March 2010!
This is great. I've loved Ledisi ever since she came on the scene in 2000. Thanks for the review - I've been listening to the original broadway soundtrack constantly all week - I'm going to buy this ASAP
Yay! I just bought this cd a few weeks ago it's fantastic!!!
You made my day :)
I love that, and when Ledisi sings the word "chills" I don't know why.
so THAT'S why the CD is so effing amazing. You were apart of it!
Love this arrangement. Very, very musical .
My teacher showed us your video in theater class. Now I'm home and watching.
You are amahzing!
Ledisi is EV-AH-REE-THING!!!
"I've always been obsessed with White Boys..."
I'm sure you have been Seth. Lmao!!! LOVE this recording of Hair. So many great singers.
"Hey" at like 3:35 cracks me up!
if this is true, then I agree. I totes was not going to watch the search for elle woods, but I might have to if I'll get some extra Seth.
I LOVE YOU! I would so love to sing for you sometime.
Thanks Seth! Now I'm obsessed...Uh..PS- How come nobody told me Ledisi was involved in a White Boys cover?
haha you are great
5:49 LOLOLOL
i love you
what do you mean that you added stuff, i didnt know you were involved in it.

I love how you lip synch with the song.
lol! you crazy! thanks for making me laugh, the 1st time since MJ passed, rip!
