Okay, why wouldn't they rehire Harvey for the role?

They can recast Marissa, but Harvey is a must.

Yay! I always knew this would be made into another movie. It will be great! Go movie musicals!

Must go with JonArt and Broadwayguy2 to mailbox to submit head shot and resume for Tracy. *crosses fingers*

I'm very excited. Hairspray rocks, such a great 80's movie/musical and all that. Hairspray has changed my life

I'd try for Penny, but you gotta hope Kerry will do it.

We can have the 'Broadway World' cast of Hairspray!

*Realizes it's a lame idea* Okay let's move on...

Heh, only Tracy so far... :P

[TheAudrey3]

Posted: 8/26/04 at 6:45pm

Not a lame idea. It'd just be first come, first served, and it might not be as talent filled. But hey, we can dream in our own deluded worlds.

[Link Larkin Wanabe]

Posted: 8/26/04 at 7:25pm

Hah I wish I knew how to record me singing "It Takes Two" and post it here. The we could have an audition thread where we all audition and we vote on our own little BWW version of the show.
