Hi - Just went to see Hairspray at the movies today - It was FANTASTIC! Very Happy Great movie, loved the cast. One exception to the cast - Does anyone know how and why John Travolta got the roll of Tracy's mom? I sooo totally didn't think it was a realistic woman and would have been much, much better had it been played by a plus size actress. I saw one quickie interview with him where he said that the fat costume he wore was very realistic and moved exactly as a plus size woman should - I sooooo did not see any realistice jiggling going on. I thought the costume was very stiff.
I don't know the name of the actress who played Tracey but she was awesome. Michele Pfieffer and Queen Latifa were both great too. I could definitely what this again.
Excited

Well in the original hairspray her mom was played by a man dressed as a woman anyways, so Im sure thats why they went the way they did with John Travolta.

Tracy is played by Nikki Blonsky.

That's interesting I didn't know that in the play the mother's role was played by a man. I wonder why.
If you get a chance to get out when your parents visit go see it on the big screen, you don't want to have to wait for it to come to video.
Enjoy Very Happy

It was a movie that stared Ricky Lake(who played Tracy). Its a great movie as well. It was made in 1988 and I loved the original thats why I cant wait to see this one. I have not seen the play.

You can check it out at amazon(some reviews)
