Brilliant! I hope he is as good in Hairspray as he is in everything else.

Hey Ev! I know right!

He makes a wonderful Mrs Garrett... I expect his Edna to have just as much flair!

LOL! You know it!

It would be weirder if they brought in his brother to cover the other performances, but then not tell people. It would be brilliant!

hehe thatt could make for a great 'quick change' in welcome to the 60's! ^^

It would be pretty amazing! They could shave at least 30 seconds of the show!

LOL!

it would cut out some great dynamite lines. but the effect of him running into the Hefty Hideaway to run back out again within a few seconds... that would be the best!

And then we could explain it as "The Magic of Vegas"

They have cut enough out of it anyway, so what's a few more lines, for the amazingness of a zero second quick-change

He's one of my favorites on "MadTV". He's hilarious. I'd love it if he made his way to Broadway after Vegas. He looks great in costume.

i think he was asked to go to BWAY originally - but had a contract with mad tv. When he had an early op to leave mad tv- they called him about vegas... so he took it.

He is a beautiful Edna. Just by the facial expression alone, I can tell he will be good.

I love Paul!!!! The picture LOOKS legit, but I thought they were using a different dress (the one harvey wore to the Tonys) in the final number.

if he's really good(which I'd expect) hopefully he'll come to Broadway next year. Does he have a 6 month contract?, 3 months?

He looks fabulous! I loved him on "The Rerun Show" as well, and I'm sure he'll make a fantastic Edna.

And Playbill, you're right, they did change Edna's finale dress for the Vegas production, but I'm guessing that it was made only for Harvey, and Paul will use the original dress.

I know i'm a total dork, but isn't that the "Welcome To the Sixties" hairdo with a rose in it?

I guess the picture is of a Makeup test, where they improvised some elements to see how he looks in character.

I totally forgot he was on The Re-Run show! That show was amazing, too bad it got canceled. Paul Vogt should be amazing as Edna! I hope he comes to Broadway, I should be in NYC by then.

Playbill9117- i think your second theory holds true, they probobly were still making his wigs and costumes so they used what was handy
