This week Broadway in Chicago presents the tour of the Broadway revival of HAIR. We recently interviewed Marc Weiss, who worked on the original Broadway production. He shared with us stories about getting jokingly drugged by the cast, distributing “nudity pay” to cast members who were willing to disrobe, and about touring the show through Chicago during tumultuous political times.

The Paper Machete is a live variety show hosted by Onstage/Backstage Writer Christopher Piatt. You can watch the show live every Saturday at Ricochets in Lincoln Square. 3pm.
