Hairspray

Hale Center Theater has done it again!


We sat on the front row. So high class. It was FUN to have the actors so close and really see every expression. But, I think this may be the first and last time. At least at this theater, our legs really got in the way of the stage entrance and just the stage in general. Only a few of the actors stepped on my toes, and only once did their swift movement uncross my legs.


This musical may possibly be my favorite. It is such a high-energy show!


"Mama, I'm a big girl now" - They did this in such a cool way. Amber, Penny and Tracy were all in conversations with their mothers for this song, so cute! (Amber's mom, the crazy stagemom was perfect. She would get so angry she shook and her on stage shriek was truly ear piercing!)


"I Can Hear the Bells" - This song had me cracking up SO hard! Tracy was so desperate for Link's attention. It was seriously hilarious!


"Big Blonde and Beautiful" - This singer was PERFECT for her role. Well cast, and great costumes!


"Timeless to me" - Creepy. They put a "note to the patrons" in the program explaining to everyone in Utah County that the role of Tracy's mother is always played by a male.


"Without Love" - Seaweed was the star of the show. I told him that afterwards in the parking lot. He did a few standing back tucks and fell into the splits a few times too. Seaweed has skills.


"You Can't Stop The Beat"- Always a favorite!


Our "Tra-cy Turn-BLAD" was awesome. Her voice was so similar to the girl on my running playlist. It was so fun to go with Josh and Katrina. They are always up to do fun things, and we like all the same things! Hopefully we can find some more 2 for 1 coupons and go to another show soon!

That sounds like a lot of fun. It's a show I've never seen but would like to. It always amazes me how many pounds of make up they have on their faces....
