Synopsis

Album Description

The Hairspray soundtrack will feature 17 songs from the film, including three original numbers that were created specifically for the film version of the hit Broadway musical - "Ladies' Choice," "New Girl In Town," and "Come So Far." Also featured on the soundtrack are the songs "Good Morning Baltimore," "Welcome to the `60s," "Nicest Kids In Town," and "You Can't Stop The Beat." The songs are performed by cast members John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow and Elijah Kelley among others. The Hairspray soundtrack is produced by Marc Shaiman and features music by Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman. It features tracks mixed by Ed Cherney (Rolling Stones, Bette Midler) and Peter Mokran (Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera). Sixteen years after the release of the original film, New Line Cinema is bringing a feature film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Hairspray to life. Featuring new and original material based on John Waters' 1988 cult classic about star-struck teenagers on a local Baltimore dance show, the comedy features a remarkable collection of talent including John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, Allison Janney, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Chicago), and director Adam Shankman (Bringing Down The House). The new screenplay for Hairspray was written by Leslie Dixon (Freaky Friday, Outrageous Fortune).

YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT

Robert F. Powers | Quincy, Ma USA | 07/16/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I refuse to compare the Broadway Cast with the Soundtrack Cast because they each stand on their own dancing feet and each makes you feel as high as Tracy Turnblads hair-do. And who could have known that John Travolta would make his 3rd or fourth movie comeback playing a two-ton woman named Edna Turnblad. The photos make it look like he swallowed a volkswagon but I can't wait to see him in the movie.

The CD starts with the jubilant "Good Morning Baltimore" and the finale is the driving.pulsing "You Can't Stop The Beat" and sandwiched in-between is a raft of tasty morsels like Blonskys(Tracey) "I Can Hear The Bells' "Welcome to The Sixties" "Without Love" and the afore-mentioned "Good Morning Baltimore" and "You Can'tstop The Beat"

Zac Efron playing Traceys love interest Link Larkin shines on "It takes Two" and a new rocker written for the film "Ladies Choice" and Queen Latifah soars on her big number "I Know Where I'm Going"

Although John Travoltas role has not much singing he and Christopher Walken duet on the charmingly off-beat "You're Timeless To Me"

"Hairspray" is fun,it rocks,it rolls,and to be cliche-it just darn well makes you feel good."

I couldnt believe it...

"I have never seen any previous Hairspray and I went to the movie with my mother and little sister on July 22nd and I went to this movie thinking "Oh, Great, Another chick flick". I was in the theater watching this movie and I started bopping my head and that was just to the first song. Further in the movie I started liking it...A LOT. And by the end of the movie with the song "You Can't Stop The Beat" I had become completely hooked. I mean this movie and soundtrack was absolutely phenomenal. I mean I left the theater practically dancing.

When the movie was over I went to the store and bought the soundtrack. It exceeded my expectations big time. I am not much of "Musical" liking guy but Oh My Goodness. It was amazing. John Travolta was sheer hilarity and I couldn't believe he pulled off playing a woman. But he did. I don't just recommend you see this movie. I sincerely urge and insist you go. I had to practically hold my knees from jumping up and dancing. I have listened to it countless times already. Don't Be Square, See some Hair(spray)"

Very good attempt at one of my favorites.

"I just got this soundtrack today and right away in my mind i was comparing it to the original cast, and i also flashed back to the stage performance and I knew i had to stop that because no matter who redid it will never match them. I am disappointed many of the songs from the musical didn't make it onto the soundtrack, and i could do without the new songs they added in. Overall to me the whole soundtrack is very good. ONly real complaint i have is how they butchered the song "without love" that's one of my favorites out of the whole show and the rendition of it is terrible! in my opinion. Either way i really do like this sountrack and can't wait to see it in theaters this Friday (opening day first showing.. lol). Either way Hairspray is just a fun expereince and i'm glad they did it in movie form to bring it to alot more people who aren't really into musicals as i am. Hairpsray is like my top fav. So yea... good buy.

p.s: i also love the fact they let Ricki Lake onto the soundtrack in number 19 "mama i'm a big girl now""

Nicest soundtrack in town

Russell T. Warne | 09/17/2007

"The soundtrack of the hit movie musical (and probably the best film musical since "Moulin Rouge!")is well worth the price that you pay to get it. Included are toe-tapping hits like "Good Morning, Baltimore" and "You Can't Stop the Beat" that will make any person want to groove it and shake it like it's 1962.

I recommend this version of the soundtrack over the stage one for a few reasons. First, most viewers will be more familiar with the film and it will come closer to their experience of what "Hairspray" is. Second, although he's a brilliant stage actor, Harvey Fierstein's voice is hugely annoying on the stage soundtrack when it's not propped up by a visual performance. Third, the orchestrations are teriffic; even if they're not 100% accurate as a represention the music of the period, they're faithful enough to maintain the spirit of the early '60s without sacrificing the potentials of a full orchestra.

There are a few drawbacks. The absence of "The Big Doll House" (which is in the stage version) is a disappointment. Also, a few music cuts are sloppy (such as in "New Girl in Town"), but overall an excellent addition to any music collection."
