  • so 240p we meet again....

  • Seaweed = wicked hot

  • I prefer harry potter

  • @BornToDemolish why those movies r sooooo gay!!!:P

  • @graciepoptartlover this is gay

  • my honest oppinion is that its good , but the person who plays tracy looks much older than how old tracy is supposed to be . tracy is supposed to be a teenager .. that person looks about 30 . just saying . and it wouldnt hurt her to get some singing lessons while shes at it . because honestly my oppinion is her voice sucks . you dont have to agree with me , thats just my oppinion .

  • someone needs to go shoping

  • After seeing this, and recently seeing it in Sydney as well as the movie you can see how the music is similar but the interpretation is different (costuming and set) its wonderful that the story for both this and Sydney appear to be the same as well as the arrangements (sound like the movie but same arrangement from Broadway). Sydney uses video screens throughout the production and very little "live" sets with all this modern technology it is amazing :D

  • This video would make anyone want to see Hairspray on broadway:)

  • cant wait to be part of this :D well not the broadway one haha i wish but im part of a show in my local town :D wooo

  • I remember when my school did this play ah memories T~T

  • seaweed is SO hot in this production

  • at 0:14 don't those outfits look like the dresses in the movie version of Little shop in the song some un now?

  • The entire cast looks too old in my opinion...isn't Tracy only 17 at the oldest? The majority of the cast is supposed to look like they're in high school and they all look like they have kids in high school. There are plenty of younger looking actors in New York, I'm sure. But hey, maybe that's their interpretation. It's still great.

  • @justkelley15 i agree. they all do look older then they should :/

  • @justkelley15 Its like a hairspray tradition on broadway....tracy is usually cast at 25 and link at 27

  • @jesseshorror LOL. That's not a tradition. 

  • @justkelley15 I agree there would be younger ones in New York- in Australia we have some younger cast, Tracey was 20 (i think) when she started and the same for Link but they look like they are still in High School.

  • @justkelley15 it's hard for me to determine their age the video quality is so bad

  • @Esorassen They were all in their very early 20's at the time except for the people who played the adults. The people who played the kids are all in the late teens and early 20's. Constantine Rousouli, Link Larkin in this video, is about 26. I saw him in the tour back in March of 2008 when he was 22 and I met him when he was 23. They hire actors that are in their early 20's usually to play teenage characters. A lot of shows do that.

  • @justkelley15 yes their supposed to be that but a lot of casting directors always hire a little bit older than that age for the most part. Maybe it has something to do with experience and vocal strength. I don't know.

  • No dought, the singing is great but its like they all have only one facial expression

  • See this in movie and it wasnt bad at all.The one broadway musical dosen't look bad at all

  • the girl who plays tracy looks old... but still good

    also, tracy and link seem to have no chemistry whatsoever in this rendition...

  • the girl who plays tracy looks old... but still good

  • tracy looks to old... but i still love this :)

  • Why is penny oranged hair? Arnt both hairsprays shes blond?

  • big girls ROCK!!!

  • They make Motormouth's face WAY too blue!

  • Nice selection of songs.Good singing too.

  • lmfao

  • anyone know where i can watch this online at?? like the whole broadway production?? thanks so much:)

  • Is this the one with Matthew Morisson in it?

  • @sweetnessboy1 nopee.

  • ohh my atlanta!! who is playingg, no offense i forgot the names, the white boyyy! HE IS SOOOO FINE(: WHOOOO.WHEE! (: LOL.

  • @iislandGurl103 link?? loolll....

  • I love the broadway, the original movie, and the remake!!!!!

  • OMFG HE CARRIED HER!!!! ay way!!

  • tracy and amber do not look like teens. heck most of the teens look over 20

  • I don't want to be negative - but this production looks horrible! The set an lighting from what this video shows leave a lot to be desired!

  • @fatheranthony4pope This was just for publicity. The lighting and sets were much better than what's featured here.

  • wow ! fantastic!!!!

  • i do broadway in a differnt place and iv just done hairspray its really fun !!!

  • i Saw this in plymouth this evening with brian conley and les denis and while doing timeless to me neither could keep a straight face. It was fantastic!!!

  • 0:24 - Is that her chosen outfit or is she a prisoner?

  • @Jayvee4635 That's the part where she's kept locked in her friend Penny's mothers fall-out shelter when she's on the run from the cops...

  • @Jayvee4635 Prisoner :)

  • I love it! Thank you!!!!

  • *******SET DESIGN HERO******

    NEW MUSICAL SET DESIGN VIDEOS

    ****ONLY ON SET DESIGN HERO****

  • I went to see this last night, it was absolutely fantastic, cast was slightly varied, but amazing and Brian Conley was in it, he was just amazing.

  • who has a larger part?

    penny or amber?

  • love love love it mwah xxxx

  • This is the kind of musical that's perfect to make a movie from because you can make it so much bigger when you make it into a movie witch when they made the movie they did a really good job of doing that .

  • Wow, Both broadway and movie 'Seaweeds' are hot! lol

  • I wish we could do this at our school. We have a AMAZING possible Tracy, but we only have like 3 good black singers. Sigh.

  • the tracy is terrible

  • @SingingFool123

    Fact, the link isnt that great eaither

    Compared to Matthew Morrison

  • @DJproducti0ns true true, and Aaron Tveit <3

  • @DJproducti0ns or compared to aaron tveit.

  • This is the NON -EQUITY TOUR, people. Christian Dante White is a good Seaweed.

  • @StevesWifeCharlo He certainly is :)) Yeah, I saw him as Seaweed and thought he did an Awesome job. :]]

  • RAY I AGREE MOVIE BETTER SORRY PEOPLE

  • i enjoyed the london version! ... was amazing!

  • I like the movie more!

  • I want to see the tour of this so bad. Maybe I'll get it for my birthday.

  • I personally don't like this Motormouth...as well as some other characters like link....they just didnt do it for me

  • i went to that broadway show it was awesome!

  • I know it may not be all that manly - but I LOVE this musical!! It makes me smile!

  • les miserbles is a musical

    this kind of thing just isnt ggood

  • i love you mr.schue!!

  • Matthew Morrison isn't in this video.

  • This was an amazing show

  • Why can't you see the set? Terrible lighting!!

  • The only cast member remaining is Jerry O'Boyle!

  • constintine isnt even in it anymore, he's in legally blonde and he was one of the best people in this show.

  • I much prefer the Broadway show over the recent movie. Hollywood went a little too crazy with creative freedom. My favorite song (Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now) being pushed back to the credits?!?! No, sir!

    Broadway is so much better.

  • Broadway usually is better. I was devastated by the movie. Hairspray was the first touring Broadway cast I saw (I think I saw them in 04) and I thought it was the funniest, funnest, most touching musical. Then they ripped it up by just putting a bunch of big names into it. And I agree, Mama I'm A Big Girl Now was one of the best songs! Why would they get rid of it?

    I also hated the whole "cheating" scenario. It was just...too much.

  • @JLCampbell09 you kn9ow Broadway is a remake right?

  • @JLCampbell09 I actually quite liked the movie. It sparked my love for musical theater. But I am sad about my favorite song, The Big Dollhouse , not being in the movie.

  • @JLCampbell09 she succs

  • @JLCampbell09 wow i didnt even remembered that song !! you are right !!

  • This cast wasn't as great, all...the motormouth ran out of breath and had bad breath management. Tracy was too much. Seaweed...no, i don't likre this cast.

  • B-E-A-UTIFUL! Thats how its done,so much energy.the big woman should really play the wicked witch in the wiz on broadway.....instead of tichina arnold

  • Good dance!

  • w :O w i have to watch this

  • hairspray is amazing :D

  • /watch?v=JQbAO1Jcxok

    view this!

  • haha I like this :P

    personally I like this Link more

  • I bet the Tracy in this show was like, 10 years older than Link. And like, kissed and stuff D:

  • I loved the stage musical, but I preferred the ending of the film.

    In the film the black girl wins the dance-off thing, which sticks to the theme of anti-racism.

    In the musical Tracy wins, which is fine, but not powerful enough for me.

  • yeah but the stage production sticks with the original John Waters movie i believe

  • So what? Just because Little Inez is black, she should win?

  • @TheGimboid lol just leave it alone

  • omg i saw the show its asome

  • I know nothing beats live....but, I've become a 4 ever fan of the MOVIE Hair-Spray. It's FABULOUS!

  • of course, no one beats travolta :)

  • this video is awesome!

    but, what year waz this???

    -i LOVE Hairspray

  • This was from the 2006 Non-Equity touring cast.

  • whats a Non-Equity touring cast?

  • The actors don't hold an equity card, which you need to act on Broadway. In most situations, the sets, costumes, etc. are cheaper, and the actors generally don't get paid as much money.

  • They don't get paid as much as the union actors, but they tend to find more work where as Equity gets paid more while work is harder to find. Same goes with SAG, AFTRA etc.

  • non-union

  • i saw the showw it was amazing!!

  • finally a good looking Link besides Zac Efron

  • Agreed.

  • is link played by aaron tviet in this video?

  • No, Link is Constantine Rousouli.

  • omg saw it in london- Leanne is fantastic!!! is brooklyn still in hairspray broadway? and how long is she there for?

  • Brooklynn is doing it on TOUR. Also she just signed for her third year as Tracy.

  • ok nevermind.... i guess I was going crazy

  • did they add the song run and tell that to the show?

    I was pretty sure it was never in the original show... did they add because of the movie?

  • no, that's always been in the show.

  • the movie was simply amazing.

    i wanna see the broadway one too though.

    but idk? it doesn't seem as good?

    idk maybe its just cuz the actors/actresses in this aren't as well known. or maybe i'm just a bad critique. lol idk
