NBC scraps plans for Hair Live! Last May it was revealed that NBC would be bringing Hair Live! to TV screens around the world as its next live musical broadcast, but now the network has scrapped plans for the controversial musical.
The Hair Live! broadcast was previously set for May 15, which would have put it in direct competition with the series finale of Game of Thrones.
Fifty years ago Hair burst onto Broadway in the midst of the anti-Vietnam War movement and was groundbreaking in many ways.
NBC likely also ran into issues with toning down the musical for a broadcast audiences, as it includes many things not typical of a Sunday night broadcast from the network like nudity and illicit drug use.
