Looks like a fun color, but I wouldn't want it to be the only color from the front.
I personally would add another color, just to get a broader range of options.
Rosco suggests that R4215 goes well with 51.
Yeah, I would echo a lot of what is said here. It is HAIR, it is a Musical, go wild. But I tend to go wild with tops, backs, sides, patterns, high fronts, etc. R51 is a nice front light color. I tend to always want at least one very lightly tinted front wash just for clarity on the faces of the actors. The (excellent) remount of HAIR I saw a few months ago had wonderful color and effects, but also had a very nice wash for the faces of the actors.
I hate shows where the entire show is lit in saturate colors.
But that is just me.
I hate that as well, because then I cant tell who is talking. Its one thing to have a "we are now lost in the dark" scene happen in dark blues but to have the whole show, I get confused.
