Saw HAIRSPRAY for the sixth time today. Actually found it sort of vulgar with the current leads, vulgar in a very funny way, but hardly the family-friendly show that I thought it was the last five times I saw it. "Timeless to Me" was very very funny, for example, but got kind of dirty, and so lost its emotional power. I would think twice about recommending this show for family audiences as it's being played right now, still an exciting entertainment, though.
My mother wasn't 100% sure at intermission that the Edna was actually being played by a man, BTW; he was very convincing as a woman, as least to my mom.
