I THOUGHT I'D RATHER SEE A TRACTOR PULL....

I've never seen a Broadway play before. Our standing joke was "I'd rather go to a tractor pull." I was roped into going to Hairspray while in NYC for a conference. It was INCREDIBLE! I've never had so much fun in my life! Our seats were 3rd row center on the mezzanine, and they were great. The star-studded cast was incredible. Mark Shaiman is a GENIUS! I want to go again. I'm trying to talk my wife into flying up (from Atlanta) just to see the show. We rented the movie, and it's good, but it's not Broadway good! I want to tell the actors, crew and everyone involved how much they touched me. THANK YOU TO ALL.

I WAS DRAWN RIGHT IN TO THE PERFORMANCE!

Exceptional performance -- the theater came to a life of it's own -- people were moved with excitement and involvement of the show and especially the cast -- well done -- I so wanted to meet the performers after the show to say how much I appreciated their energy, zeal, commitment, compassion, and joy -- it was the performers that made us a part of their performance!

AMAZING.

I saw Hairspray on 1/19/08. Let me tell you, I did not have the best seats in the house but the show was still incredible. Shannon Durig was very impressive as Tracy Turnblad, as was the rest of the cast. The show is just so much fun, you can't help but leave the theatre in a good mood. After the show, I got to meet some of the cast members at the stage door, and they were all friendly, signing autographs, taking pictures, etc. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this show, and it's also very kid-friendly if you want to bring the kids along.

YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT OF HAIRSPRAY

Hairspray is one of my favorite musicals. The music is happy and upbeat (which is great for a Broadway show) and the show is hilarious! It's another must see! After all, it won BEST MUSICAL AWARD at one of the Tony's. The sets are great and after the show, I can garuntee you leaving happy. Which brings us to the equation: YOU+HAIRSPRAY=FUN This is a show for the family!

YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT OF HAIRSPRAY

This musical is my favorite of all time musicals. Well, I did see the show five times. So that must mean something. This musical is funny, upbeat, and has a great message. The show is funny of the funny writers. The song writers and the book writers are four funny writers, I'll tell you that! The show is upbeat from the music. It is a relief that the roof of the Neil Simon Theatre is still standing. Just like the New York Times writes, "The show will bring the house down, it is a wonder the theatre is still standing!" I agree with them so much. It has a great message too. Never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. There will be good times and there will be bad times. See the original movie, then the Broadway show and then the new movie that is wonderful! Thank God that John Waters ever created Hairspray!
