A 40 Year Memory - Aquarius Dawning

We continue the 1968 memory road with this tidbit of trivia from 40 years ago today:

April 29 - The musical Hair officially opens on Broadway.

The first Rock Musical. Counter-culture, hippie culture, anti-war culture opening on the establishment's Great White Way. I did get to see it on Broadway about a year later.

But there was a lot of controversy. The end of the first act was when they all were naked. That really shook people up, but it was so relatively minor an event that wasn't all that well-lit (for obvious reasons.) But it was the start of the new world of musicals.
