I'm just being silly! :P Anyway, that kinda clears it up. But why is she still in the Miss Hairspray?? And who gets her pregnant? It has got to be Corny because he sings:
"Hey baby. Looks like you could use a stiff one!"
What's all of that about? And he says that they are looking for a girl not quite as "free-wheeling".

Well its not known for sure who got her pregnant. But Corny is a definite possibility. I love how the set is laden with "Brenda is a slut" jokes.

In the original Broadway cast, she was played by Jenn Gamabtese
They call her "a free-spirtied, fun loving girl" who mysteriously goes away for nine months leaving the spot open for Tracy to get in.

if the movie doesn't have a small Corny reaction to Brenda's pregnancy. ill be pissed. :)
Him being the father makes for a better story.

#13re: 'Brenda' in HAIRSPRAY??
Posted: 1/29/07 at 10:01pmBrenda and Corny are seen throughout the show giving each other looks or are together on the side... i noticed it more the more times i saw it, so there are clues there pointing to it

When Tracy becomes a frugative, she comes back to fill back in.
A wise music man once told me. "Its not suppose to make sense, its a musical!"

Because it's a finale and the entire cast is dancing in it.
Is it really that big of a deal?

If that's a wise man, I'd hate to meet a fool.

this was asked on the Hairspray board once and the moderator posted this answer...
"Here's the official explanation, straight from Hairspray bookwriter Mark O'Donnell:
We talked about that when we were in rehearsal. Really, it's to be fair to the actress playing the part, to keep her in the show. The official explanation is that Brenda's a "lame duck" -- due to leave but not 'til she's "showing" -- she doesn't look preggers yet."

Posted: 2/23/07 at 6:24pmyoure TOTALLY cheating just to win the hairhopper quiz on the hairspray forum! Thats so lame its hysterical.
#23re: 'Brenda' in HAIRSPRAY??
Posted: 2/23/07 at 7:13pmThe first sign is when Corny asks her in the beginning how long she'll be gone and she replies with "Nine months".
