Hairspray - Final Curtain Call & Speech

*repost
From Hairspray's closing night on Broadway. The final cast takes their bows and Harvey Fierstein gives a lovely farewell speech.
Tons of former cast members showed up including George Wendt, Laura Bell Bundy, Kerry Butler and Shoshana Bean to name a few. Oh and Squat the Duck makes an appearance near the end. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for recording this. Did you record anymore from this performance by any chance?

[bluroses85]

I have audio of Big Blonde and Beautiful and a really wobbly video of You Can't Stop the Beat (you can't see anything, but the sound's pretty good)

I won't post it, but I'll send it to you if you'd like

Who was Tracy in this?

@Disneydanny There are 15 players in that pit -- it's just partially covered with runways so you can't see them all. On Broadway these days that is actually a modest pit size.
