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:
“As I drew a still fresher soil about the rows with my hoe, I disturbed the ashes of unchronicled nations who in primeval years lived under these heavens, and their small implements of war and hunting were brought to the light of this modern day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... it is only after years and years that you can speak of penury in the midst of opulence, of hunger in the midst of almost sinful plenty. You must never speak of the immediate experience unless and until you have learned its consequent value. Otherwise you grow old in bitterness which is barren and futile....”
—E. M. Almedingen (b. 1898–?)
