SUGGESTED SUBTITLE--"ELECTRIC BOOGALOO:" Yes, Hairspray is a lot of fun, though I miss Harvey Fierstein's Edna, regret that as great as Amanda Bynes is, her voice isn't particularly strong, and really wish they'd given Allison Janney more to do (that role was originated by Jackie Hoffman, who also played a variety of other supporting roles in the show). Perhaps even better was that the theatre I saw it at had the title listed on tickets, the ticket board, and outside the theatre as Hairspray 2. Use this thread to discuss the film or to provide suggestions for the plot of Hairspray 2. I suggest Penny and Seaweed joining as plaintiffs in Loving v. Virginia and the crew getting back together to deal with the crisis through song and dance. There is, of course, a big climactic scene in which they teach Earl Warren and Hugo Black how to dance.
