The 70s Spectacular comes to a close this week with actress Natalie Walker joining us to discuss 1979 and Milos Forman’s adaptation of Hair<\/em>. The brainchild of Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni, and James Redo, Hair<\/em> took Broadway by storm in the late 1960s for its narrative and political audacity, presenting the free-love and anti-war hippie movement of the time. Forman wanted to bring the musical to the screen after seeing the Off-Broadway production, but wouldn’t achieve that goal until after his One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest<\/em> Oscar victory. This delay turned the once ripped-from-the-headlines musical into old news when it eventually became a film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we discuss the 2009 Broadway revival and the changes made to the film to give the story a more linear structure. We also discuss the best hair of 1970s cinema, Dustin Hoffman being a monster on the set of Kramer vs. Kramer<\/em>, and Actors Fund Benefit concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include the follow-up musical\u00a0Dude<\/em>, step and repeat falls, and “gliddy glop gloopy”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
