There are permanent companies in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, London, Berlin, Paris, Sydney, and-get this-Belgrade. And all with four-letter words and the nude scene solidly intact. The show is currently playing in Las Vegas (where the cast was threatned with arrest for, of all things, indecent exposure; but when the guffaws echoed from both coasts, the proposed arrest was canceled). Toronto, Boston, Helsinki and São Paulo will get their Hair next year, and rights have been sold in Israel, Italy and Belgium...
Greater Bliss. "What's the fun of hopping into beds for the same eternal routines?" asks Buntaro Nagasaka, manager of the Hotel New Japan in Kobe. "We provide our patrons with something new and exciting in beds to help trigger a greater bliss for them."

Amanda (Tammy Grimes) and Elyot (Brian Bedford) had been married (tempestuously), then divorced (bitterly), and meet again with new spouses on a terrace (naturally) in the South of France. The old magic still works potently, and they "elope" together-self-acclaimed wicked imps of sin and guilt. Their shunned and stunned mates (Suzanne Grossmann and David Glover) discover that they are truly meant for each other and not for Elyot and Amanda...
