Welcome to Baltimore! This is the town where dreams can come true.
First meet Tracy Turnblad (newcomer Nikki Blonski), a big big girl,with a bigger ambition – to be part of the popular Corny Collins Show as a dancer. On this black and white song and dance variety, there is the suave host Corny Collins (X-Men Cyclops James Marsden) with his pearly shines, and his other dancers including bitchy Amber (Brittany Snow) and endearing Link (High School Musical Zac Efron).
There are two women who tries to stop Tracy’s dreams from coming true: Edna her mother (delightfully dragged by John Travolta) wants to protect her plus-sized daughter from being ridiculed in the cruel show business. Velma (Michelle Pfeiffer returning back to film after a 5 year break) the racist and plastic beauty queen, who is just pure cold and cool. I like.
A film which embraces being talented and different, and not just blonde and beautiful, it will resonate a bell with everyone of us who feels small within.
The soul of Hairspray is in its music. Oh, how wonderful it is! Is there a better one to use? It makes every grumpy soul out there smile and add a snap to the beat. Like a breeze of wind on a bright summer afternoon, it will make you go ‘side step, cha cha cha.’
In Baltimore, you can fall in love with the music, the dance, the floral dresses, the sweet Tracy, her fat drag mama, or the ice queen Velma, and the fun spirit it embraces. Throw your worries away and join in the boogie. You can’t stop the beat.
Welcome to the 60’s!
Hairspray – No amount of hairspray can make me this happy!
