    I have to say that I do like the of ending of the 2007 movie more than that of the musical. I didn't even realize it wasn't the ending of the musical because Inez winning just makes more sense. Little Inez winning the contest made her character and her mother's more important and actually made the Corny Collins show integrated. It's also a good change that the main character didn't win as Tracy doesn't even seem to care much about miss Teenage Hairspray so her winning doesn't do anything for her character arc. If anything seeing Inez win accomplishes her goal of getting to show to be integrated which winning THS doesn't really do.

    • @BeeKee404

      @@mats460 I totally agree on both accounts. Inez winning is something bigger. Tracy already got on the show and even became famous; but Inez didnt even got the chance to audition because of her color so finally showing everyone she had what it takes and then winning seems like a bigger triumoh for the community that has been deprived.
      I also like the von Tussles' redemption. Like you said I ubderstand ehy the movie excluded it because it's unrealistic but I love how the theater play gives us the idea that these women are also subconciously tired of being stuck up all the time and just needs to let loose to be kinder. Ans the heroes made them realize that. It would have been satisfying to see them punished, but wouldnt it be better to see them get converted to allies? Besides they already had their comeuppance when Amber didnt win the pageant and Velma had to overcome her racism since she got a promotion.

      Yel Kempis right!!! Ladies choice is so much more entertaining than the sophomore hop where they dance the Madison, it’s lively it’s fun and it’s better music. And then Tracy winning doesn’t make much sense other than her wanting to go to college but, I remember I saw the movie before watching the stage production and when I found out Tracy win I was so disappointed. Ines winning felt satisfying and well deserved and gave a very firm foundation and reason for why the show should be integrated and it got her on the show which does more justice to her characters importance than just one off remark. They should’ve added that, it would’ve been so much better.

      Yes there is bad cops everywhere but the reasons why they're bad range from different areas, like corruption, abuse of power etc. And in America a lot of it is abuse of power but also racial prejudice.

    I really wanted to like this but honestly, I feel like they might have gone wrong in casting a bit. It almost feels like they tried to pack star potential rather than seeking what worked best for the role. Course, this is simply a fan opinion. I'm no musical or casting director

    • @Blue-xt7kc
      @Blue-xt7kc 4 роки тому +94

      I agree. Tracy, Corny Collins, Velma, and Seaweed seem very well cast. I personally don’t love Harvey Fierstein in this, and I think that both dove Cameron and Ariana Grande did not fit their roles. Ariana Grande has a much “popier” voice that does not fit this show, and Dove Cameron seemed very flat in her acting; I would have preferred her as penny.

      Hairspray live is meant to be fun and a one time thing, where fans can see celebrities take part in a professional musical, if you wanted to see a better cast without the stars then the original broadway one is probably better for you, obviously they have to have some degree of talent there which I’m sure u can see, but this is obviously created for the intention of the celebrities fans
