Interesting if these are final costumes that they decided not to have them match each other like the film and stage show- mother/daughter dresses.

Excellent choice! Didn't even think of her. Was hoping for Maya Rudolph but I can't wait to see Andrea Martin as Prudy!

They are pulling out all the stops with this cast. What a treat will it be to see Andrea Martin!

maybe they'll go out into left field for the Seaweed casting and pick Ben Vereen or Eddie Murphy. ![]()

Anyone know why Seaweed casting is taking so long?

Finding the right talent with an open schedule, and negotiating a contract takes time. After they are signed then they have to pick an appropriate time for a press release.

Hey hey -- I chatted with Kristin Chenoweth yesterday, and one of the things we talked about was how she was preparing for "Hairspray" already. Check it out and let me know what you think!

TBH- I personally really miss having Hairspray on Broadway- it's only been 7 years since the show closed, but I still miss it every time I go to NYC. a revival would be incredible, if not soon, but sometime down the road!!

Want Megan Hilty as Velma if and when this happens :)

This also takes away the idea of Winokur playing Prudy... Wonder who she's playing now (if she is attached)
"
Hopefully the Matron! If not then maybe just a cameo.

Maybe she can be the flasher this time around.

The first video promo for the production. Just these 30 seconds alone has me excited and very, very anxious.
Posted: 8/19/16 at 6:20pm
Yaaas. Not really liking how lacking in energy JHud and Dove Cameron look but yaaas.
Posted: 8/19/16 at 6:22pm
I can't believe they released that promo without having cast Seaweed yet! ahh!
Posted: 8/19/16 at 6:31pm
Some of the costumes are.....
Ariana and Kristin look great though! Cannot wait for this!!
Posted: 8/19/16 at 6:40pm
Kristin's dress- it's like something you'd wear to a premiere. I can't figure out for which scene she's wear it. If it's for the finale- talk about plain. but she looks awesome. I am assuming this is just promo shoots and the costumes will change.
Posted: 8/19/16 at 7:04pm
This looks interesting. I hope they put padding on jennifer hudson since motormouth maybelle is a big woman. They should adjust ariana's wig a tiny bit. I know these aren't the final costumes and i know they will get much better.
Posted: 8/19/16 at 7:05pm
Chenoweth's dress is very in line with how Pfeiffer was protayed in the movie.
Posted: 8/19/16 at 7:10pm
True, except Michelle's dresses where not gowns like she is wearing, they were dresses and suits. even the finale was- but keep in mind she did not do any dancing in YCSTB. If they include the Von Tussles in the finale, that long dress may cause issues with choreography. LOL

That would very weird
Posted: 8/19/16 at 7:19pm
I will say, Ariana's costume is a bit leggy. Considering how conservative Penny's mother is, I think it could be a little longer (until we get to the finale of course).

Woo! Love the promo
But really, why haven't they announced who's playing seaweed?
