Although Marissa Jaret Winoker and her shrill voice is no Ricky Lake, the show was packed and thoroughly amusing. We got our tickets precisely at 7:59, when the "no show" orchestra tickets go on sale for cash at the box office. We sat in the 4th row. I was thrilled that the show showed homage to Divine and used a guy to play Edna Turnblad. Harvey Fierstein embodied Edna and pretty much stole the show. Just a note --if you want to go to the show and not pay the $100 fee, you can see fine using the $20 standing room only tickets (you might have to wait a while to get those tickets). I started to get a little bored until Mary Bond Davis as Motormouth Maybelle starting singing "I know where I've been" towards the end of the second half. She had the audience (including myself) on the tip of our chairs as we tried to inhale every sound. Good Job!
