Later Years
Since Ragni's death in 1992, Rado has been active in developing new productions of Hair, including the 11 city 1994 national tour which he directed, and the 2006 CanStage production in Toronto. He has also been active in redeveloping Sun: An Audio Movie. In 1998, a version of Sun with a score by Hair collaborator MacDermot briefly appeared in concert form before the show presumably reverted to the original score by Margoshes.
Beginning in 2011, Rado has been creative consultant for a futuristic rock musical in development called Barcode, written by the members of New York indie band Gladshot. On December 3, 2011, Rado performed songs from Barcode at Occupy Wall Street's Occupy Broadway.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Early education can only promise to help make the third and fourth and fifth years of life good ones. It cannot insure without fail that any tomorrow will be successful. Nothing “fixes” a child for life, no matter what happens next. But exciting, pleasing early experiences are seldom sloughed off. They go with the child, on into first grade, on into the child’s long life ahead.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“Time isn’t so important.... We can say that time is behind us, that we’ve had years together.... I can tell you about a thousand wonderful hours we’ve spent together because I feel we would have, inevitably. And there’s not that much difference between the future and the past.”
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
