I feel Nikki is a bit hard to understand. Queen definitely lacks, but what can you expect? It's not Broadway.

"I mean, sitting side by side with another man watching Patti LuPone play Rose in GYPSY on Broadway is essentially the equivalent of having hardcore sex." -Wanna Be A Foster. "Say 'Goody.' Say 'Bubbi.'" ... "That's it. Exactly as if it were 'Goody.' Now I know you're gonna sing 'Goody' this time, but nevertheless..."

spiderdj82: I know most people may disagree with me, but I think Marissa's "squeaky" voice was part of the character. If you've read her diary entries in "Hairspray: The Roots" then you will see that she actually worked on trying to find Tracy's voice. I guess when you get used to a person's voice, it's hard to hear someone else sing it. But like I said, I'm sure Nikki is still AMAZING in this role, just different.

I know the 'You Can't Stop The Beat" was just a sample, but does anyone know if Amber and Velma's part is still there? The lyrics changed right where their part would be.

I recall mateo saying something about how the VonTussles don't make as much of a transformation as they do in the Broadway show so I doubt their parts are still in.

The broadway ending might not translate well onto screen

What I said was that the VonTussle's aren't redeemed as much in the movie (which has also been mentioned in print magazines etc.) as they are in the musical.

"Zac is sweet as can be. He's very much just a sweet kid from California who happens to have a face that looks like it was drawn by Michelangelo, (if Michelangelo did anime)."
-Adam Shankman.

"I haven't left this building since Windows 3.1!"

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"
-E!'s "The Soup"

I think Latifah sounds great. This is a movie, things can be subtle not big like stage acting. I'm sure she delivers. Many of us are glad it's not the same as "broadway."

Inez & Seeweed sounded really great, that song sounds better than in the show.
