In a couple of weeks, a theatre company in town is hosting auditions for their teen summer camp production for Hairspray. A good portion of my friends aren't auditioning for it, and I can't decide if I like the show or not. One thing I can say is I strongly dislike the Penny recording in the Original Broadway soundtrack—it's too "wimpy" for me, and since it's a role I've considered being if I ever audition for it, I'm taking this to heart.
I think what I like the most about the dance-heavy show is its theme about equality, which I am a strong believer in. Plus, Velma Von Tussle is oddly one of my favorite musical theatre villains. I got respect for her ambition , even though her way of thinking is a bit racist and elitist. (Michelle Pfeiffer was great too.)
