LOVE this response, since everyone is always claiming to know what Jonathan Larson would or would not have wanted, and are super picky about the hair thing:
"I don't think anyone knows what Jonathan would or would not have done. We can only proceed with the purest intentions, and stay as true to what the essence of Rent is. What the essence of Rent is not though, is the length of Roger's hair, or changing one location to another. Those are incidentals that get adjusted to fit the medium in which the story of Rent is being told."
