George and Barbara at Hairspray#0

Ok, who all was there? I was not expecting them so I had a shock when I see a caravan pulling up to the HAIRSPRAY Theatre. I ended up being 3 rows away from them and all I can remember is everyone in the audience turning their heads to see the reactions on their faces after every joke and especially Tracey's "manipulating the judicial system" line which got a 30 second ovation.

God, I wish I was in the theatre when that happened.

Oh, yes, because they would have just totally started crying and booing.

I turned my head but was blocked and was not about to stand up so I was hoping someone here saw their reaction if they were there.

What I want to know is what did Jackie say during her audience crossover?

I admire them for going to see a show that the Republican party told them was not on the "approved" list! They could really take some heat for that. I bet they LOVED it! They look happy in the picture, wonder if that was before or after?

If Jackie is the gym teacher who crosses the right orchestra in the last scene, she said, "Move out of the way. I'm not a republican. I'm not a protesor. I'm IN the SHOW!"

They're not close minded, some people around here are.

Some people act like them seeing Hairspray is the judgement day. Oy vey.

Yeah, if you saw Bush licking the Saudi's sandals in Fahrenheit 9/11, you'd have to say that.

Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!
