Not that it isn’t fine as an adaptation of this particular source material…I’m saying only that "The Producers" is a brilliant riff on a comic masterpiece; "Hairspray", by comparison, is a clever riff on a slight, but iconic bit of camp nostalgia.

Hairspray is fun and rambunctious but the best thing about it is its great big heart, which couldn't even be contained by Edna's size 54 triple E foundation garment.

 New York Metro - New York Magazine Hairspray It On SUSAN DOMINUS
I t's two days before the Broadway musical Hairspray is scheduled to begin previews in Seattle, and the lead producer, Margo Lion, has just decided she hates her own show.
It took Lion, an aristocratic, dark-haired beauty in her fifties, three years of pitching, persuading, and hondling to create a musical-theater version of John Waters's sweetly kitschy film about the integration of a Dick Clark—style TV dance show in early-sixties Baltimore.
In the summer of 1998, Lion caught Hairspray on TV for no other reason than she was home saddled with a bad flu, possibly precipitated by a bad funk: Her beloved Triumph of Love, a musical fairy tale based on a Marivaux play that she'd developed and single-handedly produced, had folded six months earlier.
