Exactly! I see Hairspray (and more likely HSM) to be remembered as a "film from their youth" donkey's years from now.
This version is a movie of the Broadway show, which was based on the original film. So technically not a remake, more of an adaptation.
BTW Has anyone seen the casting for the London show....
MICHAEL BALL (Edna Turnblad)
MEL SMITH (Wilbur Turnblad)
BEN JAMES-ELLIS (Link Larkin)

I have never seen the original so had nothing to compare but loved it . A real feel good film with a morale to it.
All the main charaters were excellent. A theatre version coming to WE in october with Michael Ball as the mum and Mel Smith as the dad. Wonder who will be cast as Link? neeRAB someone with load sof sex appeal - I suggest Ben Ellis from Any dream will do - he would do it justice!

Whilst we're waiting for the DVD - quick lyric question...
"It takes Two"
Liz, well she has her Dick - is that Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton?

They must have the low lights on, or else you won't be able to read the sheet! 
As for DVD, Play.com have it on the pre-order slate, but with no date.

Yes, but after High School Musical, it's mainly 12 -15 year old girls who seem to like.
He was awful in High School Musical but was brilliant in Hairspray. I hope his rubbish Disney days are long over

They're making a remake of that. 
They really are running out of ideas.

I quite want to see that - loved the original and adore Allison Janney - but John Travolta in drag scares me
I saw it yesterday and I loved it too. As someone said above, the songs are so catchy that people were clapping along and also cheering 
I definitely want to go to the West End version now.
I really couldn't get used to JT as a woman but I thought he played it really well. I've never seen Zac Efron in anything before and he's way too young for me but I can see why the teenagers love him he's so cute. Anyone else awww at the end?
