HAIR - Visceral Connections
The public icons of HAIR are the authors, producer and director. One can discuss who was mother, father or midwife. In any case I am one of those and need to speak up for my connection to HAIR.
HAIR has been seen by more people in more countries than probably any musical. It is the most recorded musical in history. According to one source in the 70's two thirds of the working American actors were in HAIR. Untold numbers of people saw HAIR repeatedly, almost as if going to church. Back stage, off stage, fans of all description have felt its influence. Of all the legitimate theatrical productions, HAIR has the largest archive.
Every night somewhere in the world HAIR is being performed. Decades later it still resonates. Why is this? Many have felt that HAIR is message from God. They still feel that way. HAIR is about freedom. Freedom and Love are synonymous. True Love wants all to be free. The messages of HAIR will never go out of style. The staging or the design might change but what is says will forever be true.
What has made this divine work happen and continue to feed the souls of so many? It is not only the icons. It is the tribes who put HAIR together. The people who have seen it and followed its course through a most difficult time in our world know that they have been part of a wonderful experience.
I thank all who are involved and know that rarely has such a small group had so much positive influence on so many.
