Hairspray the musical is based on the excellent original film, but the music is even better. The soundtrack is a joy to listem to from start to finish. The first song on the soundtrack is "Good Morning Baltimore" a very upbeat number that leaves you wanting more, as the CD goes on it just gets better and better ending on a high with "You can't stop the beat". My favourite song is "I can hear the Bells" where Tracy declares her undying love for Link.
The CD has all sorts on it, sad, happy, funny songs but they all have the 1960's feel to it, making you wish you were part of that era.

I bought this recording of 'Hairspray' for my partner who loved the film but as I have seen many shows and own many recordings of musicals I thought that getting a CD of the actual broadway cast recording would maybe be a more authentic option.
We were not dissapointed. Although the actor playing Mrs Turnblad has a seemingly grating voice at first, we started to warm to it the more we listened. The rest of the cast are excellent, strong voices and possessing that rare ability to paint a picture merely by using sound, and although I still prefer John Travolta as Mrs Turnblad overall I think this is a better 'Hairspray' soundtrack than the film.

Not as good as the live show we saw in Plymouth, but still a good memory-jogger. Good value for money.
