Is it just me or does the Edna sound like Solbodan Milsoevic defending himself during his recent war crimes trial?

The Corny Collins is AMAZING!

So am I. There's a review on the show's website but I can't find a Finnish translator to translate it.

It looks like Motormouth is wearing what could have been attempt #1 of two attemps at replicating Edna's "Welcome to the Sixties" dress.

Ok guys, so I had the chance a couple of years ago to visit Helsinki Finland, and while there, I was able to visit the Helsinki Theatre Academy. Here are my observations... first of all, yes, there are not many black people at all in Finland. My best friend is black, and she felt soooo out of place, but she did like the attention from the Finnish people. Second of all, there are not many fat people in Finland at all. I maybe saw like 3 people that were out of shape (okay, that might be stretching it a bit). They eat smaller portions than us Americans, and do a lot more walking. The Theatre Academy focuses strongly on being physically fit. The actors have to run 5 miles every morning under a certain time limit. So I can see why they don't have as big of a Tracy as we do, or that they don't have as many black actors.

I honestly love that TV that looks amazing. Enda .. well she looks a bit white trash for my liking with her hair down. Looks like a fat man with a mullet wearing a mumu because his pants are up on the clothesline' dryin' from last nites washin'. I think they got over the challenege of using black people by using spanish people, since they have a darker skin color, and would be viewed different or as the minority in a very white and blonde dominated country over in Finland. And Motormouth .. well looks like a man in drag.

And looking at some other productions they put on and looking at the videos, They could of done ALOT better with that set. All the other productions have HUGE houses, people are flying, working showers, they could of put alot more effort into Hairspray

If anyone can translate Finnish, I would love to read what the reviewers wrote on their website.
