While I might agree with you that the nudity in Hair could be considered a part of the story-telling of its characters, such as they are, I think it's a bit disingenuous to think that the nudity wasn't a huge selling point for the production. It may have been more word of mouth than advertising, but it was certainly mentioned in every article (and probably every review) written about the show. Everybody was talking about it.
A very similar comparison to Take Me Out, the original production and the revival. Exploitation? I'm not so sure.
But getting back to those Promises, Promises logos, I think they were definitely created to titillate, whether the show actually delivered in that way or not. |
