Posted: 8/15/08 at 9:43amOne of my favorite shows, and one of my favorite finales. I've seen it three times and I'm still not tired of it.

Posted: 8/15/08 at 10:17amIn my lifetime of theatre going, Hairspray ranks as the show I've seen the most (20x). Happy Anniversary and congratulations to all involved (now if they would just re-incorporate all those costumes they cut).

Marissa was back and she was great! It was sold out from what I could tell...I was in the front row (won the lottery) so I couldn't see the very back of the mezzanine, but it was PACKED and the line at 7:15pm was ridiculous for an 8pm show.
At the end of "You Can't Stop The Beat", Marissa came to the front and said its a very special night for them and that they are celebrating their 6th anniversary and they all wanted to thank everybody involved in the present and past. Everyone cheered loudly.
YCSTB was an AMAZING ending song...but I thought "Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now" and "Welcome to the 60s" were incredible too....actually, every song is. That show is completely "hit loaded"....what great music!
