WHAT A SHOW !

Saw this show in New York and loved it. Wasn't sure about Michael Ball as Edna but his is a new take on the role. He convinced us he was a larger than life woman. I loved it. The whole cast abounds with energy just making you want to get up and dance. Tracy is perfect,just how I felt at that age and being larger, I could identify with her. The whole young cast filled the stage with energy and enthusiasm carrying you along with their emotions. A show for all the family from Grannies to grandchildren. Can't wait to go again. Hope it runs for ever.

EXCELLENT SHOW.

I vistied the theatre with my daughter who is in a wheelchair and partially sighted. It was the first time that she had been to the West End and London. She enjoyed the performance immensly and cant wait to come back to the West End to see her next show. The whole cast were wonderful. The musical direction was excellent and the lighting and scenes were colourful. I would like to also thank the theatre staff for their help which made my daughters experience memorable.

THE ENERGY LEAPS FROM THE STAGE

I brought my wife to see Hairspray as a birthday treat and what a treat it was for both of us. The 3 hours spent on the train from Northumberland was very worth while. My wife is a member of the Michael Ball Fan Club and we have seen him in many different roles and venues but he made the role of Edna his own. The whole cast deserve the greatest praise for a very , very, super show. The energy leapt from the stage in every number and we were truly honoured to be there to see it. It is difficult to single out a particular cast member as they were all great in there own way but in the leading lady the theatre has found a new star who shines brightly throughout the whole show, well done to you all.

TERRIFIC

we saw Hairspray 1st Dec and it was a fantastic show. Mel Smith was particularly good but hats off to Michael Ball for dragging up for it!

MY TRIP TO HAIRSPRAY

I went there with my school and i thought the dancing and singing was fantastic. The way they transformed Micheal Ball into Edna Turnblad was amazing. If i had the chance i would definatly see it again. Overall, i thought the show was fun-filled, action packed and i would love to take my mum there as a birthday treat this year!

FANTASTIC FUN EVENING

We organise lots of nights out in London for corporate groups and inevitably get to see all of the shows in the west end. This was our first group to Hairspray and every single person loved it - even me! We had a fabulous pre-theatre meal at Laureate restaurant 5 minutes walk down Shaftesbury Avenue and then enjoyed one of the best shows I have seen for a long time. The big names on show were eclipsed by the newcomers but both sets of performances complimented each other perfectly. It had humour, energy, simple story line, great musical score and best of all actors that seemed to be really enjoying themselves! It really is the kind of show everyone will enjoy. I hope I get to see it again!

DO NOT MISS THIS FANTASTIC SHOW

From the moment the curtain went up this show was terrific. The cast gave one of the best performances I have ever seen in the west end. The audience loved every minute. The musical numbers were met with very loud applause and cheers. The atmosphere in the place was electric. It is also a very funny show. Michael Ball has great comic timing and is a very good actor. In the end all the audience were on their feet dancing along with the cast.
