'Hair' transplant on Broadway

Variety: "The question hanging over the Broadway transfer of 'Hair' isn't whether the 1967 flower-power tuner can still speak to contempo auds. The uncertainty hinges in part on whether the $5.8 million transfer about anti-war hippies retains the same urgency in the age of Obama as it had in the waning days of the Bush administration."

For some reason everyone seems to be reviving old shows. Somehow I don't think the current economy is going to help that. Instead of spending so much money making a show that was free into an expensive Broadway show, they should invest the money into creating new content. I get that using the tried and true shows is safer, but it I feel that those shows have been done. They become a point of interest for a short time bu then they quickly close because everyone has already seen it
