I was most looking forward to Amanda Bynes, although I haven't liked much she's done in the past. I suppose I was looking forward to the role, since it's my favorite in the show. She was great, and I can't wait to see her in it again on Saturday.

Nikki Blonsy and Queen Latifah, who I hear is better in this than CHICAGO...which is incredibly high praise.

I'm so thrilled this movie is getting raves!

I saw an advanced screening on Wednesday and the ONLY major point that got me was the singing/mouthing of the lyrics. It really stands out in some songs, including the opening song...and takes away from it. Other than that...very awesome!

I enjoyed seeing the many Broadway peeps in the movie. I felt like Curtis Holbrook(sp?) was all over the screen in the beginning lol...which I didn't mind at all!

I danced next to him at the Hairspray after party- i really regret not talking to him.

Seems like a nice guy though!

Curtis is really easy to talk to. He's quite joyful and chatty first thing in the morning, especially if you have to nudge him to wake-up.

Good morning, Curtis!

He says that, too. But right before he falls asleep (like a typical guy).

Spencer Liff!

And of course Brittany Snow and Amanda Bynes- I want to hear their singing voices; I'm very intrigued. Actually I'm interested to hear everyone I haven't heard sing before. I'm excited to see this. I may go tomorrow...er, tonight!

I am most excited to see Elijah Kelly, he sings my favorite song in the show. And according to the NY Times, he's incredible in this. Plus when I saw the show in NY and in Vegas, the guys playing seaweed were just freakin fantastic.

And I also can't wait to see Chris Walken sing and dance again. I think it's great to him shed all of his villian roles that he has become so famous for.

Cannot wait to see Travolta in this role.

Also looking forward to Blonsky, Latifah, Pfeiffer, Kelly, Bynes, Marsd... yeah, everyone.

I am interested in seeing one of the greatest actors in movies today; a master impressionist and a rock-steady supporting actor.

Yes, I am talking about Toronto, an amazing performer who has played Baltimore, Chicago, Tehran, Washington and many, many times New York.

My home town.

Hell of an actor.

And very welcoming (actually, pretty easy, if you know what I mean....)

Ebert's review mentioned that Pia Zadora makes a cameo, but I didn't notice her. Is she one of the agents sitting in the audience along with Ricki Lake?

I am excited to see both Spencer Liff and Curtis Holbrook on the big screen.

But as for major cast members, definitely James Marsden (who I have loved since "Disturbing Behavior") and Amanda Bynes who sounded kickass to me on the soundtrack.

I'm just really excited about the movie period.

I'm not looking forward to anyone in particular...John Travolta and Christopher Walken maybe....
