Hairspray the Musical

This was great musical for kids but not for adults. I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I would not say that kids younger than 5 should see it because it might be hard for them to follow it. I would not say that adults should see this one because it doesn't have the kind of sofistication an adult might enjoy. I enjoyed it when I saw it a couple of years ago and now that I've seen it again (which by the way was why I had to leave last night) I found it a little less funny the second time. So, I would say that when you're in the right mood for a crazy comedy and not a sofisticated mystery, you should see Hairspray. But... once you've seen it one time and laugh, don't go back for a second time and expect to laugh again because it you're like me (which you may not be) it won't be funny and it may ruin it. So, if you have any disagreements or you agree please put them below. Please do NOT put comments like, "This guy is an idiot, read his other report on Shoshana Bean" please. Also, please do not use this site just to have a random conversation okay? Thank you.

There is only ONE thing I agree with you on, children under 5 should NEVER go to plays, musicals, concerts, unless it is Dora The Explorer or Sesame Street! I really think that children should be at least 6 or 7, their attention span is not long enough and they begin to disrupt those around them. As for Adults not liking it, they are the few that would understand the meaning of so many of the jokes and innuendos like Debbie Reynolds and Crooners and so many references to the 60"s. My Aunts who are in their 70's thought it was the funniest show they had ever seen and went back to see the Tour once they saw it on Broadway! My cousin who is 10 begged to go again. I have seen it several times and it's charm never leaves for me, it is beautiful music and score, incredible dancing, funny lyrics & dialogue, and all with a real message about life and even includes a history lesson in a wonderful way. Sometimes you build things up so much in your mind, that nothing ever really compares again, the imagination is a real gift, but it can dissapoint you too when it is compared to reality.

Well our elders actually LIVED in the 60's so....

"You are right about that"

*smacks head and rolls eyes".....wow.....

As I said before, everyone has different opinions, okay?

Please, theatreboi11, don't be critical of what I say or I will report you.

---

That was uncalled for. I don't make opinions as answers. I even basically said that everyone has their own opinion.

I will not stop making threads just because you tell me to. I like to state my opinion you physco jerk. I used to think you were nice until you just accused me of making up posts!!!! That was not nice and was completely harsh.

Who me?

Idinamenzelfan, you should not be reporting ikm. If anyone here should be reported here it's you. For one you completely attack for no reason performers and call people names like "phsyco jerk". Please don't go crazy if people don't have your same views, because I promise there are many people who won't.

No problem! I simply stated my "opinion"...

I second the above post.

Wickedlover...you rock.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

this whole situation is becoming hilarious.

500, GO AWAY!! report me if you will, but you are just a totally ridiculous character...its like...if broadwayworld had a SNL sketch, it would be you!

By the way, just because you see something a second time and it isnt as funny, it doesnt mean its not a very good show for adults...it means youve heard the jokes before!
