So I am hearing from peeps that Hairspray is not doing very well in Las Vegas. Any Thoughts? I must say that I love Hairspray and I did a show out in Vegas a couple years ago, and it blows me away that they took that show there.Has anyone heard anything about this? or whats happening with it?

When I saw it in March with Harvey and Dick in it it was only maybe 45-50% filled in capacity. Everyone loved it, but it was dissapointing that the theatre was not full.

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

It's chopped up and de-budgeted. It's understandable. The idea of a shortened version always made me really skeptical for some reason. Maybe that's just me?

Maybe it's just Vegas. I still don't believe that a city that can't make up its mind between being a family vacation spot or a hideaway for sexual escapes will be the next big show spot.

I have heard nothing but good things about it. Where did you get this info from?

"Zac is sweet as can be. He's very much just a sweet kid from California who happens to have a face that looks like it was drawn by Michelangelo, (if Michelangelo did anime)."
-Adam Shankman.

"I haven't left this building since Windows 3.1!"

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"

I've also heard the numbers aren't getting where they need to...

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
