Right now, you can hardly even get a seat for Hairspray. This is the hottest ticket on Broadway--the show plays to sold-out houses every night. On my last day in NYC, I just happened to walk by the theater, and I thought, why not? It turned out that not even 20 minutes before a couple had returned some tickets! Yup, that's what they said. And so they only wanted $75 for third-row center tickets for the hottest show on Broadway. Online these tickets are going for $100-350!!! So I bought them and went!

You might have seen the movie version of this musical, which stars Ricki Lake. The show takes us back to the 60s, when Corney Collins runs a local TV program, a teen dance show called American Bandstandish. This is the story of a big girl with a huge dream: to be on this show. But will she make it? She weighs a lot and falls in love with one of the main stars.

This is a really cute show. And if you want to go, you better try to get tickets way before the 2003 Tony Awards, because it is going to sweep them. Then, just like The Producers, no one will get seats! The music is wonderful; very upbeat, fun, rock 'n' roll. It's a show with huge laughs and huge fun! It is a child-friendly show.

Divine played the mother to Tracy in the movie, but in this one Harvey Klinetail plays the mother in drag and he is wonderful!! So if you can get tickets, go and see it! Like the show says, "YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT!" See you in the dark!
