No, not the musical, the Stalinist Ddictatorship:

In his first reported appearance following news of his hospitalization, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il lost his temper while watching a college soccer match, denouncing several players' long hair as "disgusting," according to a source close to the North Korean government. The outburst was followed by a nationwide ban on long hair for men.

By all accounts, long hair for men is now officially banned within the DPRK.

See! I told you he was alive
