Posted: 8/24/06 at 2:52pm

I was doing some searching and came across this picture of the "Hefty Hideaway" facade.

I added it to the Hairspray blog- but I will just post it here so you guys dont feel forced to go to it.

Pretty cool I think.

I also posted a rendering I did of a few months ago of the "Hefty Hideaway."

I find it ironic we both have them on street corners.

Cool pictures. But it's coincidence not irony. re: Hairspray Movie Set Picture

any significance behind the number 618? I was thinking the date June 18th but it really just could be a number. :)

Thanks for the new shot, and I LOVE your own rendering of the Hideaway! Very nice job.

I dont believe Vincent Peranio is working on this hairspray at all.

I know Gordon Sim is the set decorator but I am not sure who the designer is.

I read once it was Aleksandra Marinkovich and David Fremlin as a team, but I am not really sure.

I could ask the guy who took this. I assume somewhere in TO.

I asked if he will take more photos, and he said "just as soon as more things are up...which should be a few more days."

Great photo! And the rendering is fab, mateo.

I love that they included the "Parking In Rear" directive on the sign just as it is in the stage production. Does anyone remember if that was also in the film?

It will be big and colorful, just in a differnt way.



I dont think there was a "parking in the rear" sign in the original. But its cute that its there in this one. :)

Ok, someone on IMDB posted that it was on or around the corner of Dundas West and Roncesvalle Avenue.

Tag, when can you get there?? :)

I like the lettering, very 60's. Thank's for sharing this!


You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

Any idea how they're going to style this production? Is it going to be done still sort of cartoony and stylized - maybe like Pleasantville, but more cartoony and kooky? Or are they trying to set it in realism?

I think 'Hairspray' will be as close to realism as you can get for a musical. Less 'Producers' more 'Dreamgirls.'

I mention it a little on the blog. Like when Marc (bless his heart) put pictures of costumes here, some people said "ehhh, they arent as fun as the musicals." This upset the Costume Designer a little bit. Yet really most poeple did like them, and the pictures DID enhance peoples interest in the movie.

But the Costume Designer felt he had to defend his work (which is no fun) and I think he, (I assume he) said it best with, "Be assured that this movie will look real AND fabulous."

So, I think we can assume the sounds and fun of the stage production with the look and heart of the original film.

He posted a response to comments when Marc added costume pictures to a thread. Marc later removed them.

Thanks for the link! (Though I prefer your rendering to the actaul design- the movie version lacks "fabulosity".)
