[Mb-hair] Hoping this message gets through with my latest "wacky" proposal...

Just like my last one about attending the HAIR reunion didn't...

Irregardless, Richard, Jim, and whoever the hell else came up with the idea of a reunion
performance of HAIR featuring as many of the first-run Tribers as possible is excellent. But one
thing: where's the venue? If you're going to plan HAIR, you need a historic HAIR venue to give the
show a little panache to run on advertising-wise, lines like "The House Where HAIR Was Launched."

Here are a few "historic" options: anything like the Biltmore, the Aquarius, or -- my personal
choice -- either of the Public Theater or Joe's Pub parts of the NY Shakespeare Festival complex
on Lafayette Street. I choose the very first performance space HAIR appeared in, because, in my
mind, the advertising plays well: HAIR literally returns to its roots for one night only. And
since Joe's Pub is a more cabaret-type setting, it looks like the Public Theater would be one's
best bet, were one to choose it. And to make it even more full-circle, the opening date of the
Off-Broadway run was next month. If it's arranged by then, it could be on the opening night in
1967.

Someone pass this to Jim (he and I are not on the best footing); it could work with the right producer.
