Departure Lounge with Hugh Sheridan and Paulini

Episode 335,   Sep 06, 2019, 12:16 AM

HAIR is set in the sixties, a turbulent, anarchic and exciting time in which people were losing faith in the establishment, austerity measures and the Vietnam War.

Hippie counter culture, experimentation and free-love eschewed conformity and the world collectively let their HAIR down.

Today, amidst global turmoil, issues like human rights, the environment, freedom of religion, race and gender equality continue to dominate dinner party and water cooler discussions across the country – and now, on social media. 

HAIR’s themes of identity, community, global responsibility and peace continue to resonate, getting to the heart of what it means to be a young person in a changing world.

The stars of HAIR, Hugh Sheridan and Paulini checked into the Departure Lounge to co-host with Stampsy ahead of opening night.

HERE they chat about the legacy of the musical, the themes that are still relevant today and answer the tough question... what is their go to break up song?
