I would be shocked if they actually cast a "name" for such a small role like Little Inez.

Kad said: "Where the heck would "Come So Far" fit into the plot? It's sort of a button to the whole thing- I don't even think it was ever written to be anything else but an end-credits song. I would have rather they put in "I Can Wait."
As of three weeks ago, Come So Far is sung by the cast during the end credits. Sort of like Grease. So the only "new" song in the actual story is Ladies Choice, and I believe it occurs when Corny Collins is scouting for someone to replace Brenda. Just like in the movie.
Again, all of this is subject to change. It's still a long time before December 7th.

It looks like they are casting "names" for all the roles except the biggest one - Tracy.

You're welcome gypsy.
As to why he is so salty, I'm going to guess he really needs to get laid!

I am still hoping they keep Velma's Revenge in the score- I'll be super pissed if they dont!

Is it added at the expense of "It Takes Two"?

^Unless something has changed, Ladies Choice would replace the Madison which happened prior to Tracy getting on the show, and then It Takes Two happens on Tracy's first day on the show.

I believe Ladies Choice (oh and it's performed by Corny, but who knows? It might change too) takes the place of The Madison, then the next scene is The Nicest Kids in Town Reprise, and then Link sings It Takes Two.

I like that they are doing the Broadway version of hairspray and the addition of ladies choice is great and sung by corny even better. I hope they keep the big dollhouse one of my fave songs

According to Craig Zaden, we will know Prudy, Inez, Seaweed, and the rest of the cast in the next few weeks.

"Next few weeks" is such a non-committal timeframe. The show itself is in a few weeks.

I'm not good at math, but I know for certain 17 weeks is not a few.

AFAIK Bryshere will be filming Empire during the time of Hairspray rehearsals. Plus I imagine Fox would rather he not (if they'd even allow him to) participate in an NBC live musical when Fox has its own musical slate. Though come to think of it, Jussie would've been a great choice as he can sing and dance; Bryshere is more a rapper.

I thought Todrick Hall would have been great. He said in his Instagram story the other day that he found out he didn't get Seaweed. Wonder who it was down to.

Seriously? I immediately tuned him out after American Idol. Less excited for Drag Race.

I also didn't know he was gonna be returning to drag race. will he be a judge for the entire season?
