Good Morning Starshine

  • Good Morning Starshine

    The beautiful new Broadway production of the seminal Gerome Ragni-James Rado-Galt MacDermot rock musical Hair opened at the Al Hirschfeld Theater last night. After a performance that was nothing short of a love-in, the tribe partied joyously at Gotham Hall. Here are my pix of the celebrants.
