Love this already. Idk if someone already said it but the Flasher in “Good morning Baltimore” is played by John Waters who wrote the original 1988 film stating the incredible drag queen Divine and Ricki Lake (who actually makes a cameo as one of the talent agents that comes to miss hairspray competition). The tradition of hairspray (as said by the director of this version) is that Edna is always played by a man in homage to Divine, and Tracy is always played by plus sized girl (as opposed to casting a smaller girl and padding her, which apparently was considered for a second before the director vetoed the idea)

I watched hairspray for the first time earlier this year; i knew of You Can't Stop the Beat, but going in, I had no idea what the story was. My only recollection was that Travolta was the mom who hadn't left the house in many years. So, needless to say, I was shocked by the story being heavily focused on racism. Anyways, when it got to I Know Where I've Been, I had a feeling it was familiar, but I couldnt place it. It wasn't until near the end with her long note and when the chorus comes in that it clicked. It was on Glee with Unique, Beiste, and the trans people. That was a great performance.

So, the original Hairspray was a John Waters film in the 80's that became a bit of a cult classic. Then, in the early 2000's they created a Broadway musical adaption that got really popular and won a bunch of awards, and so they made THIS movie version of the stage musical in 2007. ABC also did one of their "filmed live for tv" versions in like 2015? 2016? Ariana Grande played Penny (Amanda Bynes's character) and was actually able to sing it the way its written, without all the cuts this version did. Lol. (Just a little bit of shade to Amanda Bynes. Still love her though.)

Okay but why was Greg being so charmed by Aaron’s idea of making this into a drinking game so charming? If this reaction was an anime, there would be heart eyes, sparkles AND blush spots for drinking games.

John Waters who wrote the screenplay is the flasher at the beginning

John Travolta was doing a baltimore accent. I'm not sure why he was the only one who did it but it's honestly not awful. I'm not sure if the line 'I left my iron on' is in the original play or if they threw it in there because iron is so specific in the baltimore accent. it's like 'coffee' for new york or 'park my car' for boston

He's probably the only one who knows how to do it lol. You have to study it and be around actual residents for it to sound correct but not cringey.

The actress for Tracy actually had very little experience at all! She was just about eighteen and still in school, working a part time job when she tried out on a whim.

In the spirit of the Christmas coming up it would be awesome if y’all do Home Alone 1 and 2. Congrats to Macaulay Culkin’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame induction.

Honestly still one of my favorite movies. I saw it in theaters (already knew about the original movie but had never seen the musical). And I fell in love with it. It kickstarted my love for vintage 50s and 60s clothing too. Had a huge crush on Zac Efron after this too. I annoyed my whole family by playing and singing along to this soundtrack CD after I was supposed to have been in bed. This movie is pure nostalgia for me and honestly it never gets old for me.

Getting a guy to be in a musical is tough enough, but getting him to put on a dress and sing about being an insecure woman is next level.

I love this musical alot and fun fact about me I performed this musical during Middle school and it was a lot of fun, the choreograph was a ton of fun to learn and the songs were so catchy, I wished I had a lead but I was one of the Corney Collins kid dancers and Mr. Pinky. I dont really remember the dances anymore but it was blast.
