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.
