Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›A Change of Pace. Undated: The 'hippie' hairdo - a distressing trend to some, Moms, Dads and barbershop owners -- seems to be on the wane, in real life and in the theater. When the cast of "Grease," a musical celebrating the life-style of youths in the 1950's, was being selected, they were required to cut their looks. At top, some cast members are shown with hairstyles currently in vogue and at bottom with their locks shorn for the Off-Broadway production. They are (T-rear): Barre Bostwick; Alan Paul and James Canning. (T-front) are: James Borelli; Walter Bobbie and Tim Meyer. (Bottom) Identifications are the same except Meyer is at extreme right in plaid shirt.
