1967 Episode 9 - Hair - The American Tribal-Love Rock Musical

Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abound in this ninth foray into 1967, covering the legacy and impact of the groundbreaking hippie musical extravaganza, Hair! Sarah & Joe discuss the freewheeling nature of the show's composition, from its initial off-Broadway premiere in '67 to its triumphant run on Broadway and the West End to becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Much attention is paid to creators Gerome Ragni and James Rado, their other projects in subsequent years, the too-late film adaptation by Milos Forman in 1979, the massive controversies surrounding Hair virtually everywhere it played, and how the show influenced and changed musical theater from that point forward.
