Hairspray is yet another musical adapted from a film which to begin with was not very good. The first thing that set off this CD was Winokur shrill, popish voice. In the show admittedly she does have more acting than singing, but if you are just hearing the CD it is really painful. The show on stage is entertaining with colorful designs by Long and Rockwell, however there isn't much actually substance to the show. Who came up with the idea to deal with the reasons for ending segregation with "Run and Tell That!"? This upbeat number with repeatedly states "the darker the berry the sweeter the juice" really does deal with the weight of the matter. Overall, I guess it is entertaining, but if you are looking for any kind of meaningful plot, emotion, or vocals, buy a different CD.

This is a wonderful soundtrack, and I also have to admit that hairspray is not my favorite musical, but I still love the music and movie! This is really AMAZING, and I would reccomend it!

This was absolutely great

I am by no means a musical genius but I do know what I like and I certainly love this to death. This is surprisingly upbeat and could be construed as somewhat sappy in some parts but there are a few self-confidence songs (Big, Blonde and Beautiful speaks to me.. at least in 2/3 of these choices.)
