Pittsburgh Current: Irony, it was said at the time, died after 9/11. (Which I still don’t get.) But rumors of its death, irony might have said ironically, were greatly exaggerated. We’re living in a Golden Age of Irony; a racist, thrice-married, self-confessed sexual predator who spent decades stealing money from the working class is hailed as God’s populist vessel by white evangelical Christians.

It's exciting, being here and committing my education fully to theater, I am now being exposed to so many shows I haven't heard of before. Hair is one of those shows. I know that next year Hair will be CMU's musical, something I am highly looking forward to wanting to design a musical. This article is in fact the first time I am hearing anything about the plot of this show. I am curious to see how I will enjoy it. I am not necessarily a fan of musicals that don't hold much of a plot so I am curious to see how the music is overall and if it carries or continues the story in a way that brings the musical together. Shows that have reliability on one part of the musical aspect, like in this case the good music, ends up being only partially there. I find it difficult to follow the story and be engaged in a way where I am fully committed to the show. I wish this show was still running as I would love to see a production but I can't wait for the musical next year.
