There is a fun article about Michael McKean in this week's Entertainment Weekly! I saw Harvey in it, but am wondering how one of the masterminds behind SPINAL TAP in doing as a big 'ole queen in HAIRSPRAY?
wow. I don't think we needed to see him practically naked in the fat suit. That's a scary picture. But, the inset of him in full edna drag is nicer than the ones on Broadway.com. Fun article.
i saw him about 3 weeks ago. I thought he was just wonderful. Of course, hes no Harvey, but no one is! he still got that standing ovation and great laughs. Do you know how long his engagement is there?
i saw hairspray after the aids walk last weekend. micheal mckean did a good job, but the show is very different. he makes the show a lot more like the movie with his take on the character. also most of the lines that harvey emphasized with his voice changes are kind of lost on him. carly was wild and a lot of fun to watch. shes got a great voice. brooke did ok as penny too, but the audience wasnt responding to her like they should have.
