Hairspray

Haha I like the use of the word "need".

I was meant to see it today but my friend is working in the evening and she was paranoid she wouldn't get to work in time if we saw it. I'm seeing it tomorrow though and I'm also seeing a Gala Screening of Atontement wooo! I get the book and a Pride & Prejudice DVD, as well as popcorn and a drink!

That is not a spoiler. To say what role an actor is playing wouldn't be a spoiler. Because in that case, it's a spoiler to know that Amanda Bynes is Penny. Half of the people who went to see Hairspray went to see it because Travolta was Edna.

yes it is a spoiler for certain people.I know many people at my workplace like myself who went into it not knowing that was Travolta as her mom.If they were on here reading these posts though-something I sometimes do before I see a movie even when its been out a while,they would be in for a spoiler. 🙄

Yeah, we'll I love Hairspray. I saw the play a few years ago, and for our chorus concert we sang 'You Can't Stop The Beat' Those two really got me pumped for the movie!

Then I saw the play again on July 28th, it was amazing.

It doesn't matter, to say that would be like sayingthat it's a spoiler to say that Zac Efron is Link. It just isn't. They would have made no money on this had they not let everyone know that John Travolta was Edna.

err your comparing apples to oranges,not in the same ballpark at all.I know your clueless about what your talking about for a fact because I have spoken to many people who have told me they thought the same thing,that they had no idea whatsoever john travolta was the mom in the movie until AFTER the movie was over with.its a spoiler for certain people.period.end of discussion.

so how would YOU compare the play to the movie? your the first one I have spoken to who has seen BOTH.Do you think the play measures up to the movie or would you say its like Grease where the movie is awesome but the play sucks?

I'm really not. It can't be a spoiler if it is known by the general public before the movie came out. Oprah had him on her show, not to mention Tyra and god knows who else. A spoiler would be that

Spoiler:
Inez wins the miss Hairspray pagaent
, It doesnt give anything away about the movie, thus it is not a spoiler.

as I just said,its a spoiler for CERTAIN people. 🙄 period.end of discussion.I already proved that,Im not going to repeat it for you if your going to choose to ignore it.

Man I love this movie so much.I will be like shopping at the grocery store and I will like start dancing and singing the songs there.I just found out the other day,that this isnt the first time they have made a movie out of it.That they did back in 1988 as well with Elizabeth Taylor playing the mom. 😱

No the original movie had Divine play the mom.

Fine. End of discussion. It is a spoiler to certain people, but not 90% of the people here, thus spoiler tags aren't necessary so please don't flame users for their lack of them.

I always break out and dance when I hear the music from this movie!
Especially 'Without Love' and 'Ladies Choice'
WOOT

Ladies' Choice is an amazing song to break out and dance to! I love the part when it builds up to Link going "Woooooow!".

I'm listening to the soundtrack right now actually. I have to listen to it everyday or I'll go insane hahaha. "It Takes Two" is on now.. this one isn't in the film is it? Only the last line of the song comes on. When I bought the soundtrack I thought I didn't recognise the song.

btw thanks for posting those pics of Amanda on my Amanda Bynes thread Dance Inside.I cant believe the jerk mod who went and merged my thread about her with the OLD one on her that nobody had even posted on since 2005 and when it wasnt even on the first page. 😠

omg, i am in LOVE with Hairspray. me and my mom have seen it 6 times. and we have the entire soundtrack memorized.

So the 6th time we went together, we sang ALL the songs and quoted nearly all of it. Then I watched the Teen Choice Awards and i screamed my head off when it won. Oh and dont even get me STARTED on Link. I'm in love with all of his songs. Ladies Choice...genius. It Takes Two...also genius. Without Love....can't even describe how much i love it.

I just picture him in my mind all the time. I picture myself in Tracy's shoes during the kiss scene and I nearly faint just thinking about it. The boy is a freakin s ex god. no question.

The only thing me and my mom listen to in the car currently is the soundtrack. and we always have it blasting and we sing along to it. It totally cheers me up. I'll even break out singing a song like you can't stop the beat or Ladies Choice during lunch at school. Who cares if people stare and think im weird? It's what i love and am passionate about. It rocks my world and November can't come soon enough so I can get the DVD.

Long story short, HAIRSPRAY F***IN ROCKS!!!

I think you may be my twin!
LMAO
my mom and I have also seen it 6 times, well 7 for me.
And we only listen to Hairspray in the car, and I know the WHOLE Cd, every single song...if someone asked me to sing the whole thing I could do it!

yeah sounds like your long lost twin. 😄
