HAIR was first a stage musical, the movie came after...

[January 4th 2004]

Some people think HAIR came from the movies to the stage, that the stage play was an adaptation of the movie.  The reverse is true.  HAIR was written by us for the stage, to be performed live in front of an audience, and it was later adapted into a movie.  The story was considerably altered and only half of the score was used.
