John Pinette played that role with so much ease and pizzazz. It's too bad he wasn't cast in the movie. I really miss him.

John Pinette was an amazing Edna for sure, but I also love how John Travolta was able to disappear into the role.

I got emotional watching this. I’m so happy that there is some footage of John in this role. He was Emmy favorite comedian of all time. I got to see him do stand up live a year before he passed. He talked about this. I miss him so much.

@davidsigalow73496 жыл бұрын
I thought so! We saw "Hairspray" on Broadway towards the end of its run, and Kevin Meaney had graduated to the part of Wilbur, Edna's husband. Edna was played by George Wendt (from "Cheers") and they were both great. We were sitting close, and we could tell that, by the end of "You Can't Stop the Beat," under the heat of the and wearing Edna's heavy fat suit, Wendt looked like he was about to keel over. We were sad when Kevin Meaney died, as he was very funny.

The original Hairspray (1988) was not a Broadway musical but simply a film vehicle for Divine, who was part of John Waters acting troupe. Divine was the troupe's resident drag queen. Traditionally, Edna has always been played by a male in drag. From Wikipedia: Hairspray is a 1988 American comedy film written and directed by John Waters, starring Ricki Lake, Divine, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono, Jerry Stiller, Leslie Ann Powers, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Michael St. Gerard, and Ruth Brown. Hairspray was a dramatic departure from Waters's earlier works, with a much broader intended audience. Hairspray's PG is the least restrictive rating a Waters film has received; most of his previous films were rated X by the MPAA.
