- "The real reason I'm praying that 'Hairspray,' the Broadway musical based on my 1988 movie, succeeds is that if it's a hit, there will be high school productions, and finally the fat girl and the drag queen will get the starring parts."
-- John Waters writing in the Aug. 11 New York Times.
I've never seen Hairspray (the movie). I think I'll check & see if I can get it through the library...
