  Broadway: The American Musical . Memorable Musicals . Hair | PBS
"Hair" had no real plot, it was simply a revue, showing practically every aspect of the counterculture in a variety of musical styles, dance, and stage effects.
"Hair" became internationally famous for a brief, dimly lit scene at the end of the first act when the entire company assembled in the nude.
Although "Hair" did not produce the immediate revolution in Broadway music that critics had predicted, it did run nearly 2,000 performances and was the beginning of a diversification in the musical styles of the Broadway score.

  Pierre Monteux - Music Downloads - Online
He retained a youthful appearance with fl hair (although his mustache was white), and was expressed by any suggestion that the color was not natural.
He guest conducted and recorded extensively after that, and in 1961, at the age of eighty-six, accepted the musical directorship of the London Symphony.
RCA Victor recorded him extensively in stereo, not only in Debussy, Ravel, Milhaud, Stravinsky, and the like, but also in Beethoven and Brahms, for Monteux was especially noted for his performances of these composers' music, to which he brought an unusual charm and lyrical quality.

Until yesterday, some of the scenes in the musical, written by out-of-work actors Gerome Ragni and James Rado, would have been considered too outrageous to be shown on a stage in Britain.
But the scene that has aroused most controversy in the musical so far is where the cast appears on stage in the nude, emerging from beneath a vast sheet.

 Stage Preview: 'Hair' gives young actors a chance to relate to '60s rebellion
"Hair" the musical articulated those views and then challenged them, as the conflicted members of the show's urban "tribe" reflected the social challenges that were ravaging the nation.
"Hair" brought rock 'n' roll, drug use, anti-government sentiment and countercultural fashion to the theater, but nothing symbolized the new morality with such shocking clarity as the musical's brief nude scene.

 Hair Phoenix review - Brown University Theatre
Add to that a festive atmosphere, a social conscience, and a psychedelic rock score, and you have a fair summary of the epochal musical Hair, which Brown University Theater is staging through March 19.
Hair, the Public’s inaugural show, moved to Broadway the next spring and to London in the fall, where its lengthy run (two shows short of 2000) ended only because the theater roof collapsed.
As his bush of curly hair and goatee suggests, his politics accord with the fist-waving thrust of the show.

Although the story is a loose East Village update of "La Boheme," the show humanizes arts-poverty and AIDS almost as exuberantly and immediately as the tribal love-rock legend did decades ago with anti-materialist rebellion and Vietnam.
Larson, 35, was on his way to becoming precisely what the American musical theater has needed so desperately: a cultural synthesizer and popularizer, a missing link to connect new sensibilities and the old commercial forms for the next generation.

These were some of the more pressing issues of the turbulent '60s, a time that produced "Hair," a revolutionary kind of musical when it premiered in 1967 at Joseph Papp's Public Theatre in New York City and made it to Broadway (the Biltmore), by way of a nightclub (the Cheetah), in 1968.

 DVD REVIEW: HAIR   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I was fortunate enough to see the rock musical "Hair" on stage (not the original production, but a touring company in the 1970s).
There wasn't a PG-13 in 1979, so that meant "Hair" would have to receive either and "R" or a "PG," and an "R" was out of the question for a big screen musical, even one featuring nudity.
For a PG film, there is a lot of flesh on view, including a skinny dipping scene where nothing is left to the imagination, and a hilarious induction scene where deviant recruiters give the young men a good once-over.
