TU Tuesday

Inexorably- Not capable of being persuaded by request.
This word gives the piece the idea that "Hair" is "essentially a useless play" and that it always will be useless.
Transcend- To go beyond the limits of, or to be superior to.
In the article the word gives the idea that the "statements about love and war" are superior to the 60's but that that's really the only part that is, besides the music.
Prevalent- Widely or commonly occurring, existing, accepted, or practiced.
This word helps give the idea that the themes in the play are very common.
Lampooning- A written attack ridiculing a person, group, or institution.
This helps the reader get the idea that people ridiculed the cast because "none were born when the show first hit".
Ersatz- Substitute, usually and inferior one.
This word helps the reader get the idea that "Zach Bissell makes a charming" substitute. Overall all these words help give the idea that the only things that keep the play alive are the cast and the music.
