I saw this show recently over spring break, and I was just curious as to what they used as hairspray. At first I thought it was actual hairspray and wondered how they weren't gagging, but then I looked closer and saw it was like smoke, kind of like dry ice, and not hairspray. Just curious. Anyone know?

Posted: 5/6/06 at 8:44amIt could be water, spritzing out like that because of the pressurized can. I am not completely sure, but I think it is water.

Posted: 5/6/06 at 8:55amIts actually a product that basically is "haze"..Like from a fog machine. Very safe for the actors.

Posted: 5/6/06 at 1:29pmThe product they use is available to EVERYONE at most online halloween or party supply stores. It is commonly called "Fog In a Can." It's just a party effect that makes a more portable and often more fun alternative to a fog machine. (I own a can of the stuff they use in the show, and the "Ultra Clutch" Label is semi-transparant up close, so you can see the label of the original can underneath.)

Posted: 5/6/06 at 9:14pmi initially thought it was really hairspray too (good morning baltimore on the today show) and i remember saying "that must be the stickiest stage on broadway by the end of the night" but fog makes more sense

So after the entire world is destroyed by nukes, all that's left will be the fake hairspray?
Oh, and Twinkies.
