 great soundtrack
Having seen the original off broadway cast ,I think they have been faithful to the original style of the show.Hair was the important to the sixties,as Rocky Horror was to the seventies and this is as important to the youth of the nineties.So be it.

 Not Broadway, but still great
I'd like to start by saying - Do listen to Mike! The cast for the movie is almost completely the same as the original Broadway show (there are only 2 different), which is what makes it great. The comfort level that goes with the performances bring the fire of Broadway to the screen. The score was carefully adjusted for the movie without losing the feel of the original. Great!!!

 Both have their merits
I have both the original broadway cast recording and the movie soundtrack, and I'd say that both have their merits. Personally, I enjoy the movie soundtrack better, mainly due to the fact that I couldn't stand Daphne Ruben-Vega as Mimi (sorry). I think that the casting of Rosario Dawson was perfect, and although I was hesitant of it at first, I think that she proved herself admirably. I do wish that the score had stayed more true to the original, but I definately applaud the fact that they decided to make a film of it. The transition can be dificult, but they pulled it off.
