Hairspray Mama I'm a big girl Now OBC

[missnikin]

laura bell!!!

[lwclark96]

If I had a choice, the perfect hairspray cast for me would be Marissa Winokur as Tracy, Diana Degarmo as Penny, and Laura Bundy as Amber. Nothing against Kerry, shes great and all, but Diana is just PERFECT for that role!!!

[moviegurl16]

awesome now this song is gunna be stuck in my head all day

[1129georgia]

Laura Bell Bundy!!!!!!

[boomkaboom95]

"Once upon a time I used to dress up Ken", the first ken doll was released in 1961, and this play is supossed to be set on 1962, and Amber's age is like 17? It doesn't make sense at all. A 16-year-old would never play with barbies.

[WeirdAndProudAboutIt]

@boomkaboom95 Seriously? I mean, I get your point, but... It's Hairspray.

[WeirdAndProudAboutIt]

@boomkaboom95 Okay, sorry. That was rude.

[boomkaboom95]

@WeirdAndProudAboutIt Hahaha it was just a funny thing I discovered, and I wanted to share it, as I had never seen anyone pointing that out. IT'S HAIRSPRAY! No offense taken, friend:)

[MEqualsMc2]

@marleemooful yes it is Jackie Hoffman

[ddbjg]

i love this song

[LittleSockMonkey]

God, I love Kerry Butler.

[eviebeavie]

AMAZING

[DefyingGravityOz]

Wow! I never knew Broadway didn't use the tv screens like the Australian one!

The TV's made it phenomonal I think..

[doctorwho35]

Hahaha!!! No backing vocals!!

Go Fairwater High Schools backing vocals!!!

Whoop whoop!!!

[doctorwho35]

Wow the Von Tussles look exactly alike :L :L

[Lungsandface]

what's with that little dance laura bell does at 0:32? lol

[musicality123]

@Lungsandface The character- Amber Von Trapp is being forced to practice different dances for the CC show by her mother. I believe that 0:32 was supposed to be an imitation of the pony.

check out the scene from the original movie, which the musical was based off of.

search Hairspray (1988) scene

[xxTurnbladxx]

@musicality123 Ok, I don't mean to be rude, but it's Amber Von Tussle... the Von Trapps were a real family and also featured in the Sound of Music, not in Hairspray.

[LiteSwitch100]

"now that im a woman i like bigger men" *trumpet sound* "..and i don't need a barbie doll to show me howw" whoah whoahh WHOAH.

[twinkleso]

We just finished performing this musical!! I played Tracy in it and it was tons of fun!! best musical of my acting career so far!!

[Ayla777able]

i love this song

[WestendEddie4Nycity]

american penny is way hotter than English penny!!

[TheKirstenParry]

eeeeppp, cant wait to do our school's hairpsray musical :)

im playing amber in it, this song is amazing :D

[emmadilemmasings]

When she says "And you're so twisted too.... oh oh oh oh oh!"

Oh oh oh oh oh is the musical way of saying "Oh burn!"

[amzyw94]

who is edna in this one? x

[djdjmts2charmed]

@amzyw94 harvey fierstien

[amzyw94]

who is edna in this one? xx

[SpiderGirrl]

ahhh so excited to be playing Amber in my school show but that key change note is a killer!! :L

[maddigrl9999]

i rly hate listening to the girl who plays tracy......

[DanielJosephKuhlman]

Completely obsessed with 2:31

[musicalfreak1000]

Does anyone think that it is kinda funny that the girl who plays Tracy isn't amazing and Penny and Amber are freakin amazing?

[AdamEfimoff]

@musicalfreak1000 tracy is amazing she is so gifted

[AdamEfimoff]

@musicalfreak1000 tracy is soo good and won the tony

[musicalfreak1000]

@AdamEfimoff I am not saying she is not good. I love the way she plays the part. I just don't think she is the best vocalist to play the part but, her acting and dancing are sensational.

[xxxwickedluverxxx]

this is great!!! Sarah Seaman is the best Tracy ever though:)

[fml3423]

Get to play Mama in a school revue :) It excites me

[lilcheynestoke]

lbb is too good!!! and i luved the hickey part

[silenthillmaster755]

Haha Laura Bell, shes so amazing!!

[chrissykinsx]

LBB was amazing at delivering her lines. During her 'Ken' bit when she said 'I'm a big girl now' she performed that line so well.

[aimee1231000]

ii saww this!!! xx

[XDDramaChikkXD]

[LizSmiles1]

[KendriiSaysHello]

That's so awesome. I adore this song, and Laura Bell is just amazing. =)

[scgtlp]

[hairspraydude1]

Yep, that's Harvey Fierstein.

[CBJ1628]

haha i love LBB! :) I never knew she was in this!

[caitlinsmity]

love this song. my dance school a few years back now we did a sang/dance to this song and we ur parents are allowed to sit in so they know what we going to happen at the end of year concert but we manage to keep this on the hursh untill the first show. they were suprised but loved it. :)

and ps loev Laura Bell Bundy

[redheadclub]

I heard this song before. And I love it!

[taliatot]

haha

[kdbennett2009]

OMG LBB is soooo goood as Amber!!!

[Museleaders]

sorry, love the song and movie, but who are the characters, cause in the movie its just a bonus track and different cast members, but is this tracey, penny, and amber??

[hairspraydude1]

Yes

[CHESBCN]

look at the feet of the rich girl on 0.34 hahahahahaha

[tovell3]

lol love this song and the thing with these actors/singers they really look like they're putting everything into it :D

[jennaisjamazing17]

is laura bell bundy the voice of amber on the broadway soundtrack of hairspray??

she sounds so different from Legally Blonde..

[fuzzlylizzy]

oh my god never knew LBB was in hairspray. love her! all them are absolutely adorable in this song

[thatnylesguy]

yep shes the original :)

[Cypresswhisker2]

Kerry Butler is such an awesome Penny!

[Kesinji]

/an awesome anything.

[XLittleMissAmazingX]

i saw this show yesterday. :D there not in it now though

[greenfrog32]

i saw the show and all of them are really good in this song

[angelxschunard]

Ugh, I love you Laura! You're so fricken amazing!

[JDiKelly]

thisi is like the greatest matching of people.

Laura Bell Bundy, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Kerry Butler, Jackie Hoffman, Harvey Fierstein, ughh to die for.

[darreyl102]

Don't Forget Linda Hart!

[jimmypi]

"And you're so twisted tooooo!" Loves it.

[L0ELLE]

This was awesome. Thank you. All three are wonderful.

[bfs7999766]

penny by far is the best

[WickedRENThead20]

Kerry Butler (Penny) is AMAZING. I'm always shocked that someone of her size can have such a powerful belt.

[Alfrunk]

That makes absolutely NO sense you are an idiot.

[RockStar0191]

Laura Bell Bundy and Kerry Butler are amazing!!

i looove when laura bell bundy sings "watch me fly" at like 2:32

[Kristenbasore]

hahahaha this is great!! :)

[yamynamestabitha]

man i saw this with drama and me and my cuzin loved it!!!

[etraig]

hmmm... one lyric doesn't make sense.

Amber sings "Once upon a time, i used to dress up ken, but now that i'm a woman i like bigger men"

this is strange because the first ken doll was introduced in 1962, and hairspray takes place in 1963.

Are we to believe that amber has gone from being a girl playing with dolls, to womanhood in one year?

but i still love this number, thanks for posting.

[LederhorsenAdam22]

Maybe Barbie is introduced in 1962 but Ken isn't.

[etraig]

barbie came on the market in '60. ken came out in '62.

but the lyric still doesn't make sense for a '63 teen to sing.

if amber were a "tween", then it would work.

[LederhorsenAdam22]

Actually, Hairspray was set in '62 not in '63

[etraig]

so the "ken" line makes less sense.

and the prop they use doesn't even look like a vintage original "60s" ken.

[JSanzLesMis421]

Haha GREAT observation, but I mean I think it's forgivable since its an AWESOME song.

[WickedRENThead20]

I think that part of the point of the number is to illustrate that the girls' belief that they're all grown up is slightly ludicrous. So the Ken thing is, I'm assuming, hyperbole.

[etraig]

wow! that's profound.

ok, I guess it works then. ;-)

[Latinaxxgurl]

Wow, Laura Bell is so amazing!!!

[sophiesings74]

AGREED!

x

[lldm2]

We're doing this song in chorus.

Im trying out for a solo (:

[OmniaVincit414]

It seems to me that you are a needlessly mean, painfully insecure person.

You need to re-think the attitude because you do not sound intelligent or interesting.

Also, I agree with Coacoabeanbean. If you are going to correct someone's grammar or spelling, you had better be perfect in those areas yourself. If you're not, you just look like an ass.

Good luck with the rest of your life

[Coacoabeanbean]

Obviously, you have awfully low self-esteem if you felt the need to put somebody down you don't even know brianbizkit.

Plus, you insult her for accidentally spelling the wrong "role" (who cares anyway), yet your punctuation grammar is awful.

[Peachy0z]

Wow, thank you, you're so nice... good thing you know me well enough to judge me..

[Peachy0z]

I just made the roll of Amber!! I'M SO PUMPED

[JsAMMyrOX]

holy crap that was laura with the high note

omg i thought it was the girl who played penny

[AdamEfimoff]

@JsAMMyrOX she did wicked

[xxTurnbladxx]

@JsAMMyrOX Wait, where in the video is the high note??

[cdgunzz97]

OMG I DIDNT KNOW THIS! I SAW LBB AS AMBER! i was little so i didnt know who she was. but then when i found out about legally blonde i rlly liked her. and now im rlly excited bc i saw LBB IN OBC!!

[saarbt]

This video is awesome! I wish still was still on broadway!

[jdthemindfreak]

why this cast dint make it in the movie much better cast than the movie cast!

[lexizmysexybaby2009]

i like this song i don"t love this song but i like it

[legoguitarbaby3]

Harvey Fierstein played Edna in Hairspray. He was the original one. and it even sounds like him [ ;

[caityLB222]

who's Penny?

[BroadwayKaytay]

Kerry Butler

[dkgilmorejunkie]

from batboy the london cast?

[KerryButlerRockz]

She did well good. she has been in Bat boy, The lil shop of horrors, bueaty and the beat and much more. if you want the Hairspray Cd of the OBC with this exact cast you can buy it on the HmV websiiite or amazon. It is worth it. Kerry Butler Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[SensationallyRad]

Holy crap, Laura Bell Bundy has the most amazing voice I have ever heard!! I love the part where she belts out "watch my fly!!". :D

[1stMaleElphaba]

thnks! so she played the mum Edna :O thats a mans role!

[PARAWHORExHERE]

no she did not understudy edna :L

[1stMaleElphaba]

but patluvskerryellis said she did lol

[1stMaleElphaba]

i thought Shoshanna Bean was the obc?

[theminutepast]

She played Shelly, who sings the reprise of this song. She's dressed in green.

[MrsAngelaPascal]

Shoshana also understudied for Tracy, Velma, and, I believe, Penny. She never played Edna.

[PARAWHORExHERE]

well she couldnt have anyway,

cause edna is always a man :L

She also understudied the Matron btw,

+ Prudy, not Penny, i think.

[ddbjg]

i love this song

[SchmancySweetie]

Laura Bell Bundy is the best at everything she does obviously!

[pheebster1405]

this song makes me laugh so hard!!! I'm hoping to see th london show in march. I cant wiat.

[WannaBeElphie]

they shud hav kept this in the movi!

[entertainer1987]

LBB's "Ciao" is so funny!

[ChibiMikuHatsune]

Why didn't they use this song in the movie?

[clevm002]

Because the only way the think they could of done it well is by splitting the screen up in 3 ... and they didnt want to do that. Also coz it wasnt "relevent" to the story! FFS the story of hairspray is so so loose ... It can afford number like this ... The movie focus's to much on the story and thats why i dont really like it... Its to serious for hairspray.

[Bookworm0485]

While the song is not in the actual movie it is the second song in the credits and in this case is actually sung by the three tracy's (ricki lake- the original who sings the amber part, marissa jaret winokur- the original b-way tracy who sings the penny part , and nikki blonsky- the most recent tracy who sings the actual tracy part and the solo watch me fly) . I love both versions cuz they're both awesome.

[flyingpig319]

wow kerry butler is amazing!!

[AwesomeJosh127]

I find it funny that Jackie Hoffman played Kerry's mother in Hairspray and her sister in Xanadu.

[Jamchee79]

me too!!! I love both of those shows and both of those actors too!!

[yalosabyaa]

ajajja i love this song..

[Guadi9]

Excelente!

[AllShookUprocks]

awesome video this is my favorite song

[xgirlfiendx]

I went to see this!!! It was amazing. :)

[abwoei]

kerry butler went to my college!!

[sugar4585]

No one can beat Laura's Amber.

[hairspraluva]

except Ashley Spencer!!!

[Evilina4evaxo95]

Shoshana is a lot better than Marissa Jaret Winoker!!!!

[duckerdog22]

harvey is coming back in november before it closes in janurary

[Evilina4evaxo95]

hairspray is closing?!!!!

[impennylou]

NO EFFING WAY!!

[clevm002]

No effing way what ?

[WickedRENThead20]

The VonTussle costuming is really poorly done. I get that they want to look flashy and ridiculous and all that, but that could be done in a way that didn't make the actresses look fat. It could even be done in a way that actually matched the period, because I really doubt that anyone ever went around dressed like them.

[aasjb4ever]

i think they made it look overblown and just plain-stupid-because Amber and her mom want to give off the sense that THEY are rich, powerful, and can afford the foreign shit that nobody actually thinks lowly enough of themselves to buy. in actuality, it very much matches their cocky and "higher up" personality.

[WickedRENThead20]

All good points, but I have a hard time believing that the Von Tussles would buy clothing that made them look fat.

[hoppenbunny]

Gotta love Laura. She's the best thing that's every happened to Broadway.

[Bookworm0485]

Amen to that!

I can't wait to see what LBB shows up in next (perhaps a legally blonde the musical sequel based off of the movie Legally Blonde: Red, White, And Blonde. Cuz that would be so awesome, but only if Christian Borle returned as Emmett and Orfeh returned as Paulette)

[WickedRENThead20]

Yikes. Legally Blonde: Red, White and Blonde was nowhere near the quality of Legally Blonde. I think they'd have a good deal of trouble with making a quality musical out of that.

[jacpwhoa]

this song is totally boss.

i love laura bell.

<3

[WickedRENThead20]

So... Kerry Butler is pretty damn awesome. "And you're so twisted, too" is AMAZING.

[aquamaureen13]

i know!!

[ShoGanlover]

gotta love the LBB!! and her "watch me fly!!"

[am0911]

where did you get this pro-shot?

[potcgurl14]

Laura Bell nails the "Watch me fly", amazing!

[LauraBellBundyFan08]

LBB is my role model and idol.

[cnp295]

samee i saw her in lbtm july 13th she was aewsome i want her back in legally blonde!!

[Sessly]

thats like the same thing lol

[Singerchick106]

Laura Bell Rocks!! I totally love marissa and kerry too!!!!

[aimsnapfall1230]

LBB kicks ass!! I can't wait to see what she has in store Broadway-wise for the future!! :-)))

[Bookworm0485]

Me either.

P.S. I'm hoping for a legally blonde sequel!

[punkysk8er522]

I <3 Laura Bell Bundy

SHE ROCKS!!!

[trendyxxfish]

laura bell bundy is amazing in any roll <3

[dancexlauren301]

completely agree!

[LauraBellBundyFan08]

[HelenClaireRose]

Wahooo Laura Bell Bundy

x

[vfighter93]

[vels95]

no way it's HQ!

[therealwadney92]

Laura Bell is AMAZING!

well the whole cast is amazing...lol

[brdwyby99]

its LBB!

[showtunesfever92]

LAURA BELL BUNDY & KERRY BUTLER <3333333

Their voices are BEYOND amazing.

[dannyboy91191]

i like London's version of penny cuz she is a dorky type girl with glasses and at the end she becomes hot and i think it works

[MustLoveBroadway10]

its the same in the Broadway version except when it first began Penny never had glasses, and currently now she does.

[dannyboy91191]

no, not just that just the way their penny is. She is so much better

[MustLoveBroadway10]

oh, well its the same on Broadway. She starts as this shy mousy dorky side kick to tracy and then in without love the inner diva is released and by ycstb shes beautiful :)

Maybe you can't tell by Kerry Butler's (the penny in this video's performance) but if you ask a lot of people most will say she's the best Penny theres been.

[aasjb4ever]

guy to guy, who can out-hot kerry butler?

[JenBoBenx3]

omg.

i love laura bell bundy.

hahahaha, i agree with Lungsandface...

i love the little spazzy dance she does at 0:32!

[funnneee]

who's playing tracy?
