"Hairspray" ROCKS!!!! anyone else seen it?

so, this is one of the best shows playing on broadway, and a personal favorite.

i was dreading the movie, mostly because of them casting john travolta as edna, a role played originally by divine in the original movie, and harvey fierstien in the original musical cast. i knew travolta would never be able to fill the shoes of those two gay legends, and edna should really be played by a gay man.

i went friday night with friends.

we freaking LOVED it!!!! WAY better than the producers, dreamgirls, and rent were.

we loved it so much we went again last night.

anybody else seen it? if you haven't, i can't recommend it enough.

It has Walken and a cute chubby girl. Looks like it could be worth my filthy American francs.

it kind of cracked me up to think there is a really wierd grease connection in having travolta from grease, and pfieffer from grease 2. also, it was kind of odd to see her aggressively kissing walken again, like she did in batman returns as catwoman to his max shreck.
