Jeff Martin rules as Link, but don't count out Power Serge, the gang at the Neil Simon are well stocked on Link Larkins, and Peter Matthew Smith know just how to sell Corny with a smile and a song.

I didn't finish. She was awsome--I almost liked Liz more. But I'd love to see John as Link.

I liked Liz better as Velma then I did as Prudy.. not saying I didn't like her as Prudy just that I liked her in the velma role better.

I saw Hairspray on 7/17/04, i donno who was playing Corny. Corny is one of my favorite roles on broadway...if I were a guy, that's what i'd want to play as my first broadway role.

I don't think this Corny Collins was very good. Well, I shouldn't say that...as good as Clarke on the OBCR. He just didn't have that...pizzazz, ya know?

I did LOVE carly though. wow.

did anyone else think kathy was a great tracy? she had that young exuberant vibe, and like she really cared about her mother.

[Crazy4MattMorrison52]

Posted: 8/25/04 at 1:15pm

i saw kathy as tracy i dont think she had alot of engery of at least not as much as marissa jaret winokur or carly jibson. kathy briers tracys voice was kinda annoying after a while

yeah but...carly doesn't have a whiny voice or nasally like marissa or kathy...and i liked that. thats how i thought all tracys should be. she LOOKED like a really good tracy too though.

carly combined my favorite qualities... she is VERY young, she has that youthful exhuberance, she has an ADORABLE face, and she has a voice that at times reminds me of Shoshana.

BG2,

I am VERY young (sam age as Carly in fact, 19), I have a youthful exuberance, and adorable face (well...on my good days)....and voice that reminds people of Matt Morrison I wanna be Carly's Link. I have now fulfilled my mandatory "I wanna be Link post of the day". You may continue...
