@wampabutt When this was filmed, he was the understudy. The Corny understudies were usually the actors who played Brad, Fender, or Sketch. Michael was a FANTASTIC Corny, nevertheless.
this is actually probably the only broadway show i liked better as a movie. im not saying the play itself isn't good--its amazing! but adam shankman is just an amazing director, he really did a good job with the movie.
He plays Corny Collins in the video. He normally played Brad and was the understudy for Corny when Jonathan Dokuchitz was still in the cast. He filled in as Corny for a few weeks after Jonathan left and right before Lance Bass joined the cast.
Michelle Dowdy ROCKS!!!! I know her personally because she graduated from my high school and i was with her at her graduation practice when she got the call for being the U/S of "Tracy". She came up to the podium and was laughing and crying and said she was the understudy of "Tracy" on broadway. The entire theatre went NUTS!!!! She's cool.
BTW, i LOOOOVE this song. Thanks for posting it. I love how tracy says "Miss it" when she first runs on in this video.
im not retarded im the smartest kid in my class and um you must be retarded just b/c i love zac efron does not mean im retarded ive met a retarded person before and um one more thing you are not miss baltimore crabs ok and um u like hairspray so you must like Link and as if u didn't know
if you are the smartest then I hate to see the dumbest! And just cause I like Hairspray doesn't mean I like Link or Zac Efron. I hated Link. I found him shallow and stupid. You are dumb to think because I like Hairspray that I automatically like Link. How stupid are you?
LOL! Honey no one who likes Zac Ewwfron and also can't spell is not worth being jealous of! Link is stupid and Corny is so much better. If Amber was smart she'd let Tracy have Link and go for Corny!
I saw the 2007 musical movie and loved it and now I want to see the stage production so bad!!!! So I like to thank you for posting this I kinda get a sneak peek. "Oh Link Kiss Me Again and Again.
If you do this your crush will kiss you on the nearest friday! But if you read this and dont post it on 4 different videos then you wil have very bad luck
i think these are teh nicest kids in town... amber- brad-joe abraham tammy-michelle kittrell fender-? brenda-? sketch-Brian West shelley-Donna Vivino IQ-Todd Michael Smith LouAnn-? Link-Andrew Rannels =]
Wow. I cannot believe how so many people dislike John Pinette as Edna. Aside from Harvey, John is the most universally best-loved Edna that Broadway has ever seen. The man is hilarious. I also cannot believe the comments that he looks/sounds like a man. Apart from nearly every other Edna who has played the part, John has confused audiences the most ("Is that a man or a woman?"). He was really incredible.
eww this edna sucks the current edna is the bomb go to the hairspray broadwaywebsite and u can see videos of the current cast performing in the media section I have seen paul as edna he is great and far better than this person and the audience isnt bad the edna is
i heard brace lass guy from n sync is to be corny collins starting August 14th to January 6th 2008!!! so there are 4 stars in the whole show hairspray is like a show for stars!!!
Wait....did I just see the male dancers choreographed to JUMP over the orchestra pit at 2:03?? There's no way this is an Equity show.....holy shit.

ok who is playing link? i dont think it is Constantine Rousouil.

You're right about it not being Constantine because this isn't from the tour, it's from Broadway. Link is being played by Andrew Rannells.
