Hairspray: The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Hit Broadway Musical

By: O'Donnell, Mark

Book Overview

Hairspray is the 2003 Tony Award(R) winner for Best Musical

Based on filmmaker John Waters' affectionately subversive homage to his Baltimore youth, Hairspray takes place in 1962. Chubby Tracy Turnblad (Marissa Jaret Winokur, 2003 Tony winner for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical) is transformed into a teen celebrity on a local TV dance program. With her irresistible stage mother (Harvey Fierstein, 2003 Tony winner for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical) at her side, she attempts to win the heart of the local heartthrob and integrate "The Corny Collins Show" at the same time.

Customer Reviews

The Stage script is even Funnier

The musical stage script of Hairspray is even funnier that the film. It has such a witty , and humorous approach to a really valuable discussion. I am looking forward to producing it when it becomes available for High Schools!

Hairspray - the best musical ever!!!

This book was just right for what I wanted. It had exactly what I was looking for. Lyrics and script. Great !!!

FANFLIPPIN'TASTIC

Hairspray can only be described as a big HUGE bubble of joy that pops off of the stage and into your lap. It is so fun, bright, colorful, and exciting that I can't help but giggle with delight when I think about it. To answer the previous poster's question, this is the complete libretto; that means it has the book (script) and song lyrics. It also includes cute and colorful pictures of the Original Broadway Cast. Hairspray is love. If you love Hairspray, you'll love to own and re-enact it every day with your very own script. If you haven't seen Hairspray (you poor thing!) you can read the script and enjoy it just as much as I do! It's super duper funny, hip, and has a lot of heart. I also highly recommend the OBC recording. Not as good unless you've seen it live with all it's super high-energy goodness, but amazing none-the-less!

It was awesome!

After seeing the Broadway Musical of it, i knew i had to buy the script including all of its songs. All of my friends are asking me if they can borrow it and i am happy about that because i want them to share the same happy experience just like I did

SO GOOD, I'M GONNA SEE IT!!!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I have read it so many times, and I am going to see the show soon. This is my favorite script I own. So, I am telling you, DON'T MISS THIS BOOK!!!
