I was at the show Sunday and I thought that Brooke was great as Penny. I have read much from PennyLou and I can't figure out why she dislikes Brooke so much. Listen I am a big Kerry and Jenn fan and I heard that Brooke was Jenn's personal choice to take her place. Kudos to Brooke and the Hairspray creative team for a job well done..........I too agree that Brooke's new haircut is hot!!!!!!!!!!Also she is sooooooooo nice. She signed autographs for us poised for pictures with us and held my baby daughter so my husband and I could take a picture.......

Welcome to the board Brooke!

(Just kidding, I'm sure she's great...)

I was at Sunday's performance and I thought Brooke was great! I do remember negative comments about her but I thought she had the character down and was really good.

It was my first time seeing the show on Sunday, but I really enjoyed Brooke! I'm not the world's biggest Kerry Butler fan, so I'm not disappointed that I missed her at all, but regardless, I thought Brooke had a great voice and stage personality. Very well done!

Not to sound harsh on you here, but goll durn it introduce yourself! re: re: re: re: Brooke as Penny This is your first post to the board, we wanna know as much about you as you are comfortable talking about! Also I was just going back through old posts reading that thread and several people agreed with Pennylou including jezebelle in the thread to which you refer. Make sure you get your facts straight on this board. It can be a doozy if you do not. re: re: re: re: Brooke as Penny Are you a long time watcher of the board and finally decided to post? Hehe sorry about the twenty questions.

My husband and I have seen Hairspray every time there has been a major part change. We saw it in the beginning and loved the show. We have returned several times to see the new leads in the show. We love John Waters and can't wait for Cry Baby to come to the Great White Way. We've seen Kerry in Little Shop, Jenn in Frog & Toad as well as most of the musicials on Broadway but Hairspray by far is our favorite and let's face it it is the most fun time on Broadway. I am a vocal coach in Connecticut and work with many community theatre people. Jenn and Kerry were wonderful but Brooke is in the front seat with them....

Brooke is awesome! Not only an awesome performer in every aspect but, she is an awesome person.

The first time I saw the show was in July 03, right before the first big cast migration. MJW was there and so, of course, was Harvey, but I had understudies for both Amber and Penny, Hollie Howard and Brooke respectively. I thought they were both wonderful in those parts and I'm glad to see that Brooke has graduated from swinging the part to regularly playing Penny. Good for her! : )
