We went with 2 other couples, the men of which told me they "hated musicals," but they loved this picture and they actually raved about it the rest of the evening.

Pulled from the vaults (about a year old ). I want to be the bass player for Hairspray in a way that only a freak could imagine, everyday i think and dream of it i want to be that player Anyways, this is me playing bass and drums for the track 'Nicest Kids In Town'. I'd put this movie right up there (and in my opinion a bit ahead) of other "classics" of this genre like "Grease,""Bye Bye Birdie" and the more recent "Chicago" and "Dreamgirls" (all of which I thought were excellent). Follow Douglas Evans 1 and others on SoundCloud. The music was sensational (I wanted to buy a CD, but the theatre said they had sold out), and there wasn't a dull minute in the movie. I would highlight a specific performer, but it would be very difficult since they were all terrific, from the leads to the smaller role players. Virtually everyone in the theatre applauded when the movie was over (unusual here in subdued Seattle)and about a dozen people actually gave the moving a STANDING ovation (I can't recall seeing that here). As great as they all were, this 2007 movie was even better! The audience in my movie house certainly seemed to agree. I saw older versions of the movie and also the play (in both pre-Broadway and Broadway versions).
