FANTASTIC!

I went to see Hairspray having seen The Sound of Music which is my favourite film ever, also having seen Mr. Mead outdo my quite high expectations in Joseph and not being hugely keen on seeing Hairspray other than the awe of seeing Michael Ball and not being keen on seeing him in a dress... And Hairspray was far and away the best performance of the week - it was everything you could ask for in a musical and more, the cast were amazing, their enthusiasm and enjoyment shone through, Michael Ball and Ian Talbot were hi-la-rious! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. I would recommend this show to everyone, any age, even those who claim to hate musicals. I was sitting quite far forward but I think you would get a great view from anywhere in Shaftesbury Theatre. Also seeing as it's requested, I didn't see places to eat right beside the front entrance but just go round the side and there are loads of places. What more can you ask for?!?

PLEASE RELEAST LONDON CAST RECORDING

I have travelled from Dublin twice to see Hairspray. Am a fan of musical theatre and this is just the best show ever. It has everything - laughter, great energy and fantastic songs. Michael Ball and Leanne are brilliant and the whole cast looks as if it is having the best time ever. Please release a London Cast recording of the show - I bought the Broadway version but can't stand the voice of Harvey Fierstein playing Edna. I would recommend this show to everyone who wants a great night out and you come out afterwards in such good form.

WOW!!!

Had heard of this and went to see it by chance and was blown away by such a fantastic musical. Michael Ball heads a fabulous cast and credit must be given to all of them. We were sat by the musical director and watching him joining in to the infectious music says it all. And the soul number from Miss Moneybags was my favourite number.

"HAIR-TASTC"

Loved the film but this stage show was absolutely amazing. Can't get the songs out of our heads especially "Momma I'm A Big Girl Now". What amazed me more was the freshness of the characters, it was as if it was the first week of opening. They all put their hearts and souls into it. I took my 9 year old daughter and she is already begging for a 2nd trip (not that I need convincing). A big thank you to all for a spectacular afternoons entertainment.
