Hairspray Movie Marquee Screw Up

So, I was walking by a movie theatre on the east side of Manhattan today, and I noticed a pretty big (and funny) mistake on the marquee for Hairspray...look closely!

If you put it on photobucket and use the URL code it should work.

In case none of you knew, Penny was actually a man in drag, and Corny was a woman dressed like a man.

And, it's not like it's the movie theatre's mistake. It's printed on there like that!

Way to go New Line!!

I have seen that signage before and it wasn't written that way.

It could have been an error by one of the staffers assembling the decals.

-This is probably not a mistake, but I like how Tracy Turnblad doesn't even get any credit.

Having worked at a movie theatre i can tell you that signes like that come fully assembled. All you have to do is put it up.

I think they realize the kind of eole that are normallly working at a movie theatre and try to make it as " idoit proof" as possible.

That's quite spectacular.

Though I'm sad to say that neither James Bynes nor Amanda Marsden has an IMDB or IBDB profile.

At first I thought the "mistake" was not having Nikki's name up.

Marquee signage comes pre-made. Error was definitely made by the company handling New Line's Publicity. Kinda fvcked up Nikki Blonsky's name was also left out.
