HAIRSPRAY (the musical)
Not as good as John Water's original, but fun and campy and it still retains a slightly trashy edge to it. The music is better than most musicals I've seen recently. John Travolta is creepy and wierd in drag, but I love his Baltimore accent - he over did it a bit, but got the spirit of it down pat. James Masden continues to surprise me... he has mad fucking skills.
If you don't like musicals, it won't convert you. But it's a hell of a lot more fun and entertaining than DREAMGIRLS and the music is beter the SWEENEY TODD.
7.5/10
