James Corden put on another Crosswalk Musical outside the CBS studios where he tapes The Late Late Show and this time he is doing Hair. The host got a huge name to guest star with him and that name is Lin-Manuel Miranda. The two men along with several background dancers took it to the streets of Fairfax and belted out Age of Aquarius and Hair to the several frustrated drivers who are stuck in LA traffic. Suddenly they were less upset.
But then everyone got a big surprise for the musical’s final number Let the Sunshine In. For those of you not familiar with the Broadway play, that is where the cast gets naked. CBS and California told the two Tony winners that they could not go full monty in public, but did they listen? Nope, they let the sunshine in all over their bodies. That’s right we saw their sun and moon as the passerbys were singing Good Morning Starshine in their cars if know what I mean!
The only problem I had with that number was seeing Corden’s mic pack coming out of his butt. Let’s not assume what was holding it in place…
Finally, Hair and Little Shop of Horrors are my favorite musicals, so I am very critical of all renditions of both shows. And all I have to say is they did the musical proud! Bravo! Bravo! Franks Mills would give it two penises up! White Boys, Black Boys and people from Manchester, England across the Atlantic sea would love this crosswalk version as much as I do!
