CBS RADIO has launched Hair Radio, a new custom streaming internet radio station, celebrating the smash Broadway revival of the musical HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical. The channel features hit songs from the 1960's and 70's, tunes from the original cast recording of HAIR, along with various recordings of the show's most popular songs from all different eras, interviews with the cast and creative team of the new Broadway revival and an extensive arsenal of show-related content.
Diane Paulus grew up feeling bad she had missed the 1960s. By age 10, she knew all the songs in Hair by heart, including 'Sodomy.' Having never seen the show, she had an active fantasy life about what Hair must have been like when it was first created. Her vibrant and emotional work in bringing 'her' Hair to life earned her a 2009 Tony Award nomination for Best Direction of A Musical.
The new Broadway Cast Recording of the hit musical HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, featuring never-before-released tracks from the show's iconic score, will be available in stores beginning on Tuesday, June 23rd.
