"Hairspray" The Musical

Had a great time last night seeing the musical "Hairspray". I came to the show with a clean slate, meaning I hadn't see the original movie, nor any touring company of the show, nor the John Revolting movie version.
Music Circus knocked me out. Their shows can be hit or miss, but this was was a hit!
Their shows are "in the round" with minimal sets. But as anyone knows, all you need is a good actor, good material, a blank canvas, and you have yourself a show.
Luckily for us (me), Playbill.com posted photos from the actual Sacramento production. To see more, go here.

The Broadway cast won a fistful of Tony's back in 2003 including Best Musical and individual trophies for Harvey Fierstein, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and Dick Latessa (I loved him in "Damn Yankees"). The video clip is from the Tony telecast [not the greatest quality...sorry].

If you've got a few Euros laying around this season and the show breezes through your town, go see you. You'd be glad you did... I know I was!
