Well..i've just booked my tickets for the 26th of March to go down to London to see Hairspray at the shaftesbury. I've been a fan since it first came out on broadway in '02 and dreamt of seeing it, and was really over the moon when I heard it was coming to england on stage this year, I didn't enjoy the film version of the musical much..and thought John Travolta's Edna was dire!
However in this show, we have Michael Ball donning the beehive wig n stilletoes to take to the stage as the loveable stage mother and tbf he looks scarily convincing!, and i think Leanne Jones as Tracy is a really amazing casting, although I quite like her understudy's riffing when she's filled in too!
I could prattle on, but will wait to see if anyone replies who's going/has been otherwise nobody will know what Im on about!
