hairspray on cbs early show.

Did anyone else catch Hairspray on the Early Show??? They did "Without Love".

Good performance, though they were cramped into a really narrow, deep space. For some reason, I found Corey Reynold's microphone distracting. I never noticed that it was attatched to a headband. hmm. Anyways, I still maintain, Kerry Butler is the under appreciated secret wepon in that show. Matthew was easy on the eyes and ears as always. Marissa was adorable and I enjoyed her vocals. She had some great little vocasl things that she did. As a side note, as tiny as Marissa is height wise, the girl playing Tracy on tour is actually shorter! Also, just to whine a bit -- I want one of those lunchboxes!! They also sent them to Tony Voters. Singing backup they had Shayna, Judine, and Kamilah in their 'Dynamites' getups and for the last part of the song, they also had peter matthew Smith (one of like to hetero boys in the Hiarpsray chorus!) and Eric Dysart (or was it Eric Anthony?? Didn't get a good enough look).
They also did a short interview.

All in all a pleasing appearance.

the tempo was rushed a bit, but they Do have a time constraint so it is understandable.

For those who missed it. You can watch the video at the CBS Early Show website. They also have an article that includes some excerpts from the interview. The video, however, includes thentire interview before the number.

Billy, just watch the video on the CBS site.

Bat Boy... opposite Deven May.

yeah, she does....a lot more. In Hairspray she doesn't have any numbers of her own. Her voice is ALL OVER the Bat Boy album. I LOVE it!

Poor you.

Bat Boy is a very vocally demanding show and she does get to show off more range than in Hairspray.

I have adoraded Kerry since seeing her as Belle in Beauty and the Beast.

Kerry is one of my favorites!! She not only has an awesome voice- but she is hilarious!! I have read some very silly interviews with her...very very silly.

And a great web site it is Seth!
