HAIRSPRAY: What an experience!
HAIRSPRAY is most deffinetly my most beloved musical ever, and trust me, I have seen many! HAIRSPRAY is always a new and fresh experience, time after time again I see the show. I have seen HAIRSPRAY 3 Times, Including at the Neil Simon Theatre. Lsitening to the Soundtrack, Playing the songs- whether be singing or clarinet, or listening to the soundtrack, It seems new and even more enchanting than the 1st! I highly rcommend this for anyone who likes to laugh, cry, and feel good in a show. If you like warm, big, splashy, and new things, try HAIRSPRAY!- and i tell you this now- You WONT Regret it!- Grant Pastor ... Read more

A Spectacular to Remember.
When I heard Good Morning Baltimore sung by Shannon Durig, I was in shock! The music is upbeat, the acting is wonderful, the singing is fantastic, the set design was amazing, and the costumes were colorful. All of the shows that I've seen were great, but Hairspray...was AWESOME! I couldn't believe how much work these actors and actresses put in to this show. If you are in NYC, and you are planning to see a last minute show, see Hairspray! Even if you get bad seats, you still are lucky to be seeing a wonderful show. I really do recommend it for all ages and our seats were great!
SEE HAIRSPRAY!!! ... Read more

Took my 9 year old who loves to sing, dance and all of the above. Watching her react to the amazing performances and singing and dancing was something that will forever stay engraved in my mind and heart. It has so many messages that kids (and sadly adults) need to be reminded of nowadays. Equality, body image, bullying, goal setting, following your dreams, love, friendship, etc. It wasn’t boring or long, and even the songs that sometimes feel like “fillers†were done so nicely that you ended up feeling like they were singing directly to you. The energy and vibe was all there, and EVERYONE on stage was rocking it! Wether they were dancing in front of the crowd or all the way on back. Everyone brought it! Go watch it! You’ll love it! ...
