Hairspray Reaction @ Your Theatre

I saw it in Philly last night, same thing, clapping after many of the songs. OK it was at a Gay Film Festival, so they loved it. Everyone loved the John Waters part too.

---

they loved it at lincoln square. Not any clapping during the movie, but a hearty round of applause at the end. Lots of laughs. I felt like i was the only one that got the John Waters cameo as not many people laughed there. But yeah, everyone loved it. Me included.


John travolta was shockingly good.

Liverpool, which showing were you at? I was there today too. I also thought Travolta was really good. I totally bought it.

Saw it at an Island 16 on Long Island. Packed theatre (Director's Hall), tons of laughter, cheers and applause throughout the whole thing (nothing obnoxious). A lot of chatter before and after the showing about Nikki Blonksy. Everybody was proud that she was from Long Island, only eighteen and kicked some major movie musical butt.

I did, however, have to resist the urge to smack the woman who dressed up as Tracy for her birthday and brought along about 15 people who refused to sit down and shut up during the previews and the start of the movie. The birthday "girl" would occasionally wave her Ultra-Clutch can and Zac Efron (as Link) framed photo around. And she was NOT young. I don't have a problem with someone dressing up, but when that someone becomes distracting...I might get a tad bit violent.

Here in New Hampshire, there were only about FIFTEEN people at the 10:00 showing. Everyone laughed on all Penny's, Edna's, Prudy's, and Motormouth's lines.

I just got back from a 10:20 in NJ. The theater was maybe a third filled (I think everyone was all on line for Harry Potter). No one clapped after anything and there wasn't much laughing, most of it was for any on Edna's lines or parts with Seaweed and Penny. Maybe it was just a bad crowd because it was late, but I'm not sure.

Almost full house in Minneapolis. Crowd seemed to really enjoy it...lots of laughter, particularly at Janney's "Demon Child" line, Penny's "I'm very pleased and scared to be here," and Edna's Proud Mary moment in YCSTB. Outright applause at the end of "I Know Where I've Been" and as the final credits started to roll (huge applause when Travolta's name appeared on screen).

Loved it as much the second time, although my friends didn't like Travolta or Bynes.

---

oh, and who had the pack of ten or so girls who squealed at every Link moment??? 'cause I bet they are at every screening. :)

---

At my theatre there weren't a lot of people, but they REALLY enjoyed it. They laughed in all the right spots and whooped and applauded when Edna took the dance floor during "You Can't Stop the Beat". I cried. I loved it.

---

What sucked about my screening was that half way through "Come So Far" - it's as if someone flipped on a switch and the rest of the speakers came on.

So we were listening to about 60% of the full sound the entire movie.


That blew- but I'll be seeing it plenty of more times.

yeah I stayed till the last lil jingle (which I love BTW.)
