HAIRSPRAY is next NBC Musical... — Page 36

Actually, they plan *was* to use the split screen and film it like "Telephone Hour", which would have worked since the film already pays homage to various other movie-musicals.



The reason it was cut was because Shankman felt it "connected" Tracy and Amber in a way that a hero and villain probably shouldn't be.

I agree that Garrett Clayton as Link is all wrong. He does nothing for me. When I think of Link Larkin, power bottom does NOT come to mind. The part has been cast lately with the fayest little twinks.

Michael St. Gerard was the hottest Link - - -

I'm actually really disappointed that Doll's House isn't included on the soundtrack. I could see it becoming the definitive recording of Hairspray, but I have a big problem with such a big number getting cut.

So did something happen with Nikki Blonsky? It seems like there's a shutout of her involvement with Hairspray. Interviews with Marissa Jaret Winokur, she doesn't even mention Nikki.



It just seems interesting she isn't invited to make a cameo in the LIVE version. Or maybe it's not interesting at all and I'm reading into it.

Where is the soundtrack available?

i'm finishing listening to the soundtrack now and it's been terrific. Jennifer Hudson is welcome to sing whatever, whenever and wherever she likes in my opinion.

It's out already?!

Is the soundtrack available early?!?!?!?!?

oh you guys can listen to it early if you use a browser proxy to change your country and then use spotify (i used australia), make sure you change the account settings on spotify to the desired country.

Have they announced anything on how to participate in being in the live studio audience yet? Been contacting so many people at NBC and doing a lot of research, but nothing shows up.

And what about Big blonde and beautiful? Have they changed the lyrics? Or is something like the movie?

It s on itunes!! May i say i hate ariana grande??? Why can t she sing properly? She sounds so pop!! The rest is incredible!!

Someone tell me how Kristin's "Velma's Revenge' is!! I am dying. Do you just have to wait till midnight for Spotify to release it?
