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.
