In the beginning I started creating my own production artwork for the movie to appease my appetite until the real production began.
I then set out to create a blog to channel all my excitement and anticipation for the movie, giving everyone the very latest information.
I am thrilled so many people visit the blog. We average about 2,500+ hits a day, compare that with the 100 hits in our first week!

About Me:
I first want to say I am not connected with the movie in any way, I am simply a fan with a gift for "googling."
When I started finding information - I immediately wanted to share it with 'Hairspray' fans.
I will continue to bring you all the latest up until the films release.
Thank you all!

Jamie Isaac Conde-
(A mysterious name that showed up on IMDB claiming to have the role of "Dexter Rowland," before anyone else had been cast.)
*Jerry Mitchell and Jack O'Brien bowed out as co-directors (Daily Variety, June 21, 2005) when the film's schedule was pushed back. Rob Marshall was offered the job, who ironically once planned to choreograph and direct the stage version of "Hairspray" before he took "Chicago." When Marshall declined to do the film, 15 other directors were interviewed before Adam Shankman was chosen.
*Adam Shankman and Marc Shaiman are no strangers! For 15+ years they have worked together on various projects such as: "Addams Family Values," "Heart and Souls," "George of the Jungle," "The Out-of-Towners" and "The Wedding Planner."
*Christopher Walken, Allison Janney, Broadway's original 'Amber,' Laura Bell Bundy and Movie Musical 'Amber,' Brittany Snow all appeared on the Television Soap "The Guiding Light."
*'Becky,' Tabitha Lupien is no stranger to John Travolta- she played his daughter 'Julie' in the film "Look Who's Talking Now."
* Screenwriter Leslie Dixon also wrote the screenplay for the original "Look Who's Talking" starring John Travolta.
*Hayley Podschun debuted in the National Tour of 'Hairspray' as Tammy, while Jesse Weafer appeared in both the Toronto and National Touring Company of 'Hairspray' as IQ- they will reprise their roles for the film.
