hey, the pics were fun to look at, thanks for the site, but like, is Deb Gibson in the show? She is in EVERY pic, and they said that Keala was Carly in all the pics, wrong, and besides Jordan(Amber)Matt(Link),Marissa, Bruce and Little Inez, I saw no other cast members pics or orchestra like our Jim!
I'm looking forward to seeing it next Friday, my birthday. I've seen it four times in NY, so it'll be great to see Marissa and Matthew in the show again. Thanks for the good reports about it. What? No Marc at the show next week? Bummer!

Marc,
I will be there Tuesday night for the benefit ( in the nose bleeds) and Friday night 4th row center; with the help of this really cute guy that has some kind of connection with the show.
Oh, Dame, how lucky for you next Friday! Enjoy! I had seats in that spot the last time I saw the show in NY. I'll be there, too, on the same day, but from the 20th row center orchestra with the help of an anonymous Ticketmaster agent. Not sure what he looked like. (I fared much better for A Little Night Music the following evening.) However, I'll be happy to see the show again, no matter where my seat is.

anyone know where the benefit is tuesday night in LA? or who all is performing, how much tickets are, thanks!
..."Ultimately, though, the roots of "Hairspray's" successful stage makeover lie in Marc Shaiman's music."
I like the way this guys thinks!!
I owe it all to The Woo

Marc,
Not everyone has acces to that link since you have to be a LA times subscriber. And I can't remeber my log in info. So I am assuming that the link refers to a article that states that Tuesdays performancer is a benefit for the Gay and Lesbian center.?

Dame - no info in that link on the benefit - it's only the review of the show.
OH! And I am assuming since Marc posted it; that it is a good review?

Very good - with the notable exception of questioning some of Bruce's performance choices. Really liked Marissa. And, as Mr. Shaiman pointed out, made special mention of the music, and ultimately laid the success of the piece at his feet. Also, special mention for Terron Brook's 'Seaweed' character.

Marc, I was totally thinking of you when I read the LATimes this morning over breakfast.
I want to see it. Anyone want to give me their tickets because I'm broke? I need to see that and ALNM. Desperately.
I can't wait to see Hairspray. Again. To see what MJW and Matthew Morrison are really all about.

Are there many BWorld.commers out here in the West?

I'm in West LA. About 1/4 mile from UCLA.

I'm in LA too. I'm planning to go sometime next week.
Nice work Marc Shaiman, you are the king of making people happy with song.

like I said before, "Hairspray" gives me "happy feet", it is a feel good show and who does not need a little, or a lot, of that in their life???..and I wish I could go and see the Make A Wish that the cast is doing in August in L.A., but think I have a free place to stay on closing weekend in Sept. and if it is anything like the closing weekend of "Rent" in SAn Diego I am so there!!! The reviews seem to be so great from LA, except I can't read the srupid LA Times review, but guess I will live. Hope someone lets us know how Tuesday goes there, sounds fun!
