Sasha Allen sings at Joe's Pub

I attended a wonderful show this past week, the scene was magical. Joe' Pub was on its feet, quiet, and breathless! Sasha Allen was singing  many classic soul hits and it was a lovely sight to behold, the silence really took hold once she had begun her tribute-medley to Whitney Houston. We sort of all held our breath not wanting to miss a note. There' was not the usual hooping and hollering you hear at these sort of shows because the audience litteraly did not want to miss a note. Miss. Allen was in top form, wearing a simple white blouse and black pants. The vocalists accompanying her were true soulsingers, nothing background about them (among them underground soul rocktress Kimberly Nicole) were dressed to impress and the band was immaculate and lush: strings, horns, they spared no expense. later in the eveing even the vocalists Cheryl Pepsi Riley and Inaya Day aka "Jiffy" came out and did a powerhouse rendition of "This Will Be". Wooo lawd! Their "Teflon" voices were in the house! The Musical Director, her long time beau, Rob Lewis, put together an amazing show and I was happy to be there!This was a beautiful night always a treat to hear a voice like hers and see all the wonderful Hair Broadway peeps in the crowd! It was like a reunion of sorts.

Flashback: Judd Apatow & Saycon!

Flashback: This is waaaay after the fact but I was quite excited to meet Judd Apatow when he came to see Hair. It was awesome because his movie, Funny People with Adam Sandler is one of my favorites! He was quite awesome and his daughter seemed to have loved the show too!

Happy Birthday Mom love Saycon & Conan O'Brien!

What a week its been! Its my Mom's birthday week and I'm wishing her a Happy Happy birthday traveling from New York to Los Angeles and back to New York in the blink of an eye! My self and my castmates from HAIR on Broadway had a great chance to perform on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien... after much deliberation we boarded a private jet and flew to LA for the show! Its been exhausting the last few days but I've learned so much about myself during this time! I'm thankful for the experience!

Miss. Sengbloh meets Aretha Franklin!

We've had a lot of visitors to see Hair, people have come and gone, some of them famous, some not so famous, all of them entertained but I was a bit speechless when the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin showed up! She even invited the cast to hang with her after the show! It was cool and exciting! Well until I ate something a little too spicy and had the watery eye cough for 10 minutes. Ha ha! It was a good time!

Peace Ya'll,

Saycon

Cast of Hair on Letterman

Attention people. . .here yee here yee. .. for approximately 4 minutes I danced and sang my heart out on the Late Show with David Letterman! Along with the cast of Hair we performed a combo number of "Aquarius and Let the Sun Shine In/Flesh Failures"! We rehearsed all day and hung out in the trailer and met Paul Schaffer too. It was great and my Mom and Aunty and cousins were texting me all night!

Saycon records the revival soundtrack of HAIR

After opening week we kept full speed ahead to record the soundtrack for the show!This Hair revival has kept me plenty busy! We did the whole thing on a Monday! It was crazy and took lots of concentration but since we sing this stuff every night we were able to make it happen!I think I was "peace signing" and cheesin' a lil' too hard in this pic!


But seeing Outcast's platinum plaque in the hallway made me feel I was most definitely in the right place!Legacy Recording Studios in New York City!

Saycon Sengbloh in Broadway's Revival of Hair Opening Night Party!

WOW! Its been quite a month! Opening night was beautiful and exciting I've included some pictures from the night! I chose a simple cream colored dress and put a few curls in my Hair and hopped on the shuttle for the after party! I'm shown with Sasha Allen and Cassie Levy who play Dionne and Sheila in the show. I also posed with one of Hair's producers Andy Sandburg. And there's a shot with cast mate Nicole Lewis.

Enjoy!

Opening Night of Hair on Broadway!

Here we go! After weeks of hard work and lots of dedication Hair makes its 2009 Broadway revival official! Opening night and every night, Hair will be at the Hirschfeld theatre located at 302 W. 45th Street in New York City! This is exciting news as many fans of Saycon Sengbloh from Rent, the Color Purple, Aida, and Wicked have been asking:" what's new and where can I see Saycon perform?" Now that the show will be opened the schedule will be ripe for other concerts and live performances here in New York City. Stay tuned for the opportunity to see Saycon live in a club venue as she performs songs from the music release Southern Pin-Up, her own special brand soul, jazz, and hip hop.

Saycon Sengbloh with Stephen Schwartz at the Gershwin!

Hey guys,

Its been a long few weeks as Hair is preparing for the Broadway! Lots of work and less sleep! The cast was invited to perform at an event last week that took place at the Gershwin theatre: My old 'Wicked' stomping grounds!It was bitter sweet but we had a great time and I spoke with Stephen Schwartz whom I hadn't seen since the Broadway Meets Country event a few years back. The cast sang "Flesh Failures/Let the Sun Shine In" It was a cool night.
