I saw Hairspray yesterday!!!! I really liked it, cute and fluffy and funny. There was some language and suggestive content and sensual dancing, but not a lot and I still enjoyable.

It was thrilling hearing the songs in the theater instead of through my poor headphones. Highlights were "Good Morning Baltimore," "I Can Hear the Bells," "Run and Tell That," "I Know Where I've Been," "Ladies' Choice," and "You Can't Stop the Beat."

The cast was all wonderful. Nikki Blonsky made an impressive debut as Tracy; she had me rooting for Tracy all the way. This was the first film of John Travolta's I've seen. He pulled off Edna very well. Only during "(You're) Timeless to Me" did I get a little weirded out by his performance. James Marsden was great as Corny. He was a scene stealer. Queen Latifah was beautiful as Maybelle. Acting and singing, she was awesome. Michelle Pfeiffer was a cool villain; she had some good comic timing and expressions. Amanda Bynes was really cute as Penny; loved her pigtails. Elijah Kelley (Seaweed) is one amazing singer. Whew! Zac Efron pleasantly surprised me. His acting was good and singing very nice. (He's come quite a way from when he sung a few lines in the first High School Musical.) He looks better with dark hair.

Now I'm a Link/Tracy (Trink) shipper. They are so cute. I just wish they'd had more scenes together.

And would you believe that I got a plot bunny for Hairspray? For once something came really quick. :)
