Advantages: so similar to the film

Disadvantages: American star who I didn't know who it was!

I was in New York and having seen lots of shows in London theatre land I really wanted to see on on Broadway too. As I've seen many shows in London the shows available to see in NY were limited, we narrowed it down to Hairspray or Wicked. I wanted to see Wicked in London - not sure why, I just did.

I had no idea what Hairspray was like as hadn't seen the film so it was quite good as no real expectations.

We managed to get cheaper tickets for the show from the tkts booth just off Times Square - I can't remember the price of them but it was reasonable.

The show kicked off with a great catchy song - Good Morning Baltimore which I loved and still sing to this day! The lead was played by an American, which they all loved but I had no clue who he was! He was great though, bringing comedy into the role where it was needed and played a strong performance.

I have since seen the film of this and think that they both are great and so would definitely go and see the musical again!

Summary: could defo go and see again!
