	HAIRSPRAY (The Musical)
		Hairspray, the movie, was written and directed by John Waters http://www.dreamlandnews.com/history/ind...
		Set in the 1960’s, “Hairspray” is the story of a plump young girl, Tracy Turnblad, whose love of dancing secures her a chance to be on a local t.v.
		It isn’t the music itself that is winning acclaim with audiences, but the delivery of the music by the incredible performances of Harvey Fierstein.

		The musical, based on filmmaker John Waters' subversive homage to his youth in early 1960s Baltimore, is a hoot -- a hilarious and affectionate salute to those days when hair styles were high, skirts were tight and teens danced to a rhythm and blues sound that was beginning to shake up mainstream pop music.
		In the second act of the new musical Hairspray, Edna and Wilbur--in the form of priceless Harvey Fierstein and never-better Dick Latessa--declare their undying affection for each other and pride in their daughter, Tracy, in a number called "Timeless to Me," and they couldn't be more captivating.
		Those involved in the musical Hairspray have remained faithful to the outlines of the plot and spirit of the film; they've naturally found any number of jokes and song ideas in Waters' screenplay, and have, of course, retained the notion of a male performer in drag taking the role of Edna.

	Hype, hype, hooray! for 'Hairspray' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		After months of well-orchestrated hype and media buzz, the musical "Hairspray" -- fresh from its smashing premiere at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre -- has opened on Broadway to a chorus of critical plaudits (and sighs of relief from the passel of producers who invested $10.5 million).
		Hairspray did not pad into town on cat's feet but arrived from Seattle with blockbuster stamped all over it and a will to please.
		Charles Isherwood, Variety: The new musical "Hairspray" doesn't offer a cure for cancer, or the nose-diving Dow for that matter, but if the infectious jubilation currently spritzing from the stage of the Neil Simon Theatre were bottled and sold across the country like, say, hairspray, consumer confidence would not be a problem.

		There's much to say about the new musical adapted from the 1988 film by John Waters, but it's probably best to begin by pointing out that it has finally arrived at Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre and won't be leaving any time soon.
		The other good news is that, while Hairspray can easily be compared with a number of other musical comedies of the last couple of seasons, in its own way it leaves each in the dust.
		Hairspray may not be a transcendent experience and it may not change your life, but it is incredibly entertaining.

		The cast recording for the Broadway musical of John Waters's 1988 paean to dance, music, big beautiful women, and integration is a sheer delight.
		Perhaps the musical would be better served if the entire score was presented, as people who have not yet seen the show are missing out on some great stuff that happens between these tunes.
		Some have said that Hairspray is the Grease of the 21st century, but to me it's much better-more human; and also significantly better than the '80s comedy film on which the musical was based.

	Lighting design of the Broadway musical Hairspray by Kenneth Posner
		Not that anybody was surprised — from its first tryout performances in Seattle in June, this musical version of John Waters' 1988 film had the aura of a megahit.
		Hairspray covers the period when early rock and roll gave way to the Motown sound; Posner's lighting suggests that the psychedelic era can't be too far behind.
		Posner swears he isn't a fan of early 60s music, but his cueing is closely tied to the music, picking up on its driving rhythms; as the final number states, “You Can't Stop the Beat,” and the LD, for one, certainly isn't going to try.
