I like it!

There is only one thing I hate about seeing the show - the darn Neil Simon Theatre.

During all the touching, silent moments all I could here were the fans blowing away.

The music is perfect though.

I love Mary Bond Davis!

What's Hairspray? Is it a musical based on that Milos Foreman movie?

Actually, my only complaint about seeing shows at Nederlander/Jujamcyn theatres:

the ushers are ALL rude, nasty, vile, and disgusting. This woman at the Simon started screaming during the performance once. The worst is this woman at the O'Neil - she's vile.

Does anyone else notice how rude they are?

Why *are* there so many songs about rainbows?

Do people sing music AND lyrics? That lighting must be psychedelic. I'll be sure to pop some shrooms first.

Mattio!~

Did she look like complete trailer trash?
Was she loud and obnoxious?
Did she have a viscious lisp and spit?

I can't stand her.

What's all this talk about Hairspray?

IT'S NO BKLYN!! IT NEVER WILL BE!

You try to write powerful lyrics like:

"My love for you is true..and true is my love for you".

HA!

Ignorance is temporary. Stupidity last forever. Watch out BWW... HE'S BACK.

Mr. Tuttle-

Thank you for reminding me about BKLYN's exquisite lyrics. I forgot about that one...just amazing.

But you're right, Hairspray's no Brooklyn....
