"Hair" play runs high in L.A. (9/1-9/4)


Hair with the original Broadway cast on TV with the venerable American variety show host Ed Sullivan performing, "Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" live in 1968. There is also a full collection of songs from Hair as a made for TV or big screen version of the play. On Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022, Sarah Azcarate and husband bring a new production of the classic. The originator will be in the audience, so everything comes full circle in Altadena, where the Underground Railroad had its terminus during days of overt American slavery.

(Family GuyHair is a sad musical about the unjust act of genocide known as the American War on Vietnam. In the final scene the wrong person gets sent off to kill Vietnamese: "Let My Son Die."
Where is Altadena? It's above Pasadena near the anomaly Gravity Hill
