THIRTY NINE
In 1968, hippie musicals were the rage. Or
rather, one hippie musical was the rage and everyone
who missed out on it tried to find an imitation
substitute. Hair was a huge sensation in its original
incarnation. It was revived of late but believe me when
I tell you that it was not the same thing at all. How
can you have a show about hippies, titled Hair, when
everyone in the cast – male and female – appears
nude on the stage and it is a blatant fact that every one
of them has had a full body waxing, the procedure
known in the contemporary vernacular as a Brazilian?
