Politics strayed onto the 2009 Tony Awards Sunday when Oskar Eustis, artistic director of the Public Theater, accepted the award for best musical revival for Hair and proclaimed, "Peace now, freedom now, equality now [as he gestured to his ring finger], justice forever."
Here is the number the company of Hair performed at the Tony Awards.
Whew!
It's hard not to love the sixties' idealism of people who struggle to find their place in a world marred by war, violence, and corrupt politics, yet who still manage to see the promise of luminous hope.
Hurrah for Hair!
