Advantages: Great fun musical with 60's vibe! Disadvantages: In New York - hopefully heading to UK soon!
...based on the 1988 film Hairspray directed and written by John Waters. This film was set in 1962, Tracey Turnblade (Ricky Lake) a oversized teenage wins a place on a TV dance show and decides to use this as a forum to speak out about racial integration.

Advantages: great catchy songs Disadvantages: some American star I didn't know!

He was great though, bringing comedy into the role where it was needed and played a strong performance. I have since seen the film of this and think that they both are great and so would definitely go and see the musical again! ...
