12/09/24: Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now!
What: The three original female stars of Hairspray on Broadway (Marissa Jaret Winokur, Kerry Butler, and Laura Bell Bundy) reunite to sing songs from their respective canons, and look back over their careers and friendship.
And? Sometimes a little too loud but mostly a good time, and a great reminder of just how much talent was packed into the original cast of Hairspray (remember how Shoshana Bean was just in the ensemble?). As an added bonus, Hairspray composer and co-lyricist Marc Shaiman and his husband were in the audience the night I attended. They brought on his husband Lou to stand in for Link during "I Can Hear the Bells," and even convinced Marc to come onstage and play a cut song from the show. A very sweet moment.
