And THAT is why Marissa embodies Tracy Turnblad. Sure... she's not the strongest singer (I'm sure even she would admit that). But how can you watch that rehersal clip and not fall in love with her and 'root' for her? She has the audience at 'Good Morning.' Love her.

You took the words out of my mouth, before that video I wasn't really thinking of going back to see Hairspray but then it reminded me how much I love her Tracy. It's just wonderful!

I thought it was so cute when she started to sing "I can hear the bells" and makes the references to Baby Zev!
I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

NGD,

Where did you get the original picture from.

The costume's right (except for the shoes), the wig is wrong and the set looks different.

Question;

What was Marissa turning and saying 'Shoshana' mid song?

I feel i'm missing out on a joke there!

That video is awesome, she's so bubbly. Wish I could get over NYC to see her.

(p.s Ryan, just watched your Shoshana interview - classic. Get her on more often!)

In that ABC Family movie she did, she sounded really different. I think she does that voice specifically for Tracy.
I want to apologize for some offensive messages posted on this board under my name. The night 0f 12-15-08 I did not have internet access, and someone had used my name to post something offensive. My avatar was also changed. I dont' know what else was posted, or if anyone recieved bad PMs, but I want to apologize for that. I've changed my password, and even though I was not the one posting these messages it still needed to be corrected.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is her "Tracy" singing voice.

And I believe she referred to Shoshana like that during "Good Morning Baltimore" because, at that point during the original run in the show, Tracy is turning to Shelly, which was played by Shoshana.
