Posted: 8/11/04 at 3:04pmUm...it already is. It stars Ricki Lake as the fat girl. (I'm not familiar with hairspray, and i don't know character or actor names.) but www.imdb.com says it was a got movie. I don't think it's a musical though.

Posted: 8/11/04 at 4:12pmHairspray originated as a movie directed by John Waters. It starred Divine and Ricki Lake. It was a movie with music, although not the original music that was written for the Broadway musical. Should it be re-made as a full blown movie musical (a la "The Producers") with the Broadway score? I say, NO! One "Hairspray" movie is enough! It's just another over-rated Braodway show! It was a second rate movie, and it's a second rate show! (Although I love Havery Firestein, and am very much looking forward to the revival of his "La Cage Aux Folles" later this year.)

Posted: 8/11/04 at 4:15pmit seems that "Curtain Up" only loves shows pre 2000. Live in the present pal.

Captain... I'm not your pal, you don't know me from Adam, and I live very much in the present, thank you. It's not true that I only like "pre-2000" shows, otherwise that's all I'd go to see! I LOVED "Movin' Out" and saw it three times. I thought "Caroline or Change" was an excellent night of theatre, I enjoyed "Wicked", and I even thought "Taboo" deserved a better reception and a longer run. I saw "Dracula" in previews last Saturday night, and while I thought it still needed some fine-tuning, I already have tickets to see it again in September. Five original Broadway musicals that are far from typical "pre-2000" Broadway fare, and I thoroughly enjoyed them all and would reccomnend any one of them. There now... you know a little bit more about me.
P.S. Oh and by the way, I look a lot like Matt's icon.
