Looks like a mistake to me. But where did Meryl Streep come from? As von Tussle?
TT
Can't believe that's right--esp. Marissa. I think she's too old to play Tracy in the film.
John is Edna, Marissa Jaret Winokur?? Meryl Streep?! What is going on here?!

Harvey as Velma VonTussle.

I'm sorry, but Marissa is too old!
Maybe Harvey is Mr. Pinky? Marissa is making a cameo somewhere...
And Meryl is Velma? (although the rumors are that it will be Michelle Pfeiffer)
Or maybe this whole thing is on crack.
I vote for the latter.
Hey, if Barbra could play Yentl...

Oh goodie. A movie musical. That should go well.
Is this just a BS post?
A lot of times the attached actors in the breakdowns that appear in Backstage are screwed up. I wouldn't put too much faith in it.
Looks like the report is a confused mix of rumor, Broadway Casting, and Film Casting. Whoever wrote this did NO real research. Completely Non-Credible.
I'm almost 100% positive that the role of Tracy has not been cast yet. And from what I've heard Marissa's not even close to being in the running. Therefore, unless Marissa is just making a cameo or is playing another role, this ad is incorrect.
All you need to read is the first few words to see that this makes no sense and is obviously false:
"Hairspray, the musical remake of the Broadway musical..."
