NBC has set the counterculture classic Hair Live! as its live musical presentation next spring. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who have executive produced all of the network’s live musicals since The Sound of Music revived the genre in 2013, will do so again.

Hair Live! will be produced by Universal Television, MGM Television, and Zadan/Meron Productions. NBC has not officially ended its holiday musical tradition, though the network shifted its live musical events to spring for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 season. It aired Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert. starring John Legend, Sara Bareilles and Alice Cooper, on Easter Sunday last month.

So what is NBC going to do with the nudity, profanity, drug use, and descreation of the US flag? Geriatric Baby Boomers reliving the 60s. I remember the song "Aquarius" on the radio; pretty good song.

[Red Badger]

Big deal.

Let me know when they do ‘Oh, Calcutta’ live......................

A watered down version of this won’t be very good.

[JohnBovenmyer]

Not sure about the nudity, but I’d be shocked if the rest of that wasn’t featured.

I like the Minions’ version.

[Robert DeLong]

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll pass.

I think “Black Boys Are Delicious” is un-PC now.
