At the dramatic climax of the musical Pippin, his wife, and son were standing center stage singing their song and by the awkward way they were dressed I guess that they would have been nude in the original stage production. Since the nudity in Hair isn't central to the story it can be dispensed with. When the production of Hair was announced last summer Paul Harris wrote why it was not an especially good idea. More than the nudity, lyrics intended to be daring 50 years ago are offensive. http://www.harrisonline.com/making-hair-for-tv/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
