HAIRSPRAY is most deffinetly my most beloved musical ever, and trust me, I have seen many! HAIRSPRAY is always a new and fresh experience, time after time again I see the show. I have seen HAIRSPRAY 3 Times, Including at the Neil Simon Theatre. Lsitening to the Soundtrack, Playing the songs- whether be singing or clarinet, or listening to the soundtrack, It seems new and even more enchanting than the 1st! I highly rcommend this for anyone who likes to laugh, cry, and feel good in a show. If you like warm, big, splashy, and new things, try HAIRSPRAY!- and i tell you this now- You WONT Regret it!- Grant Pastor

Saw the show tonite May 17, 2023 and it was wonderful- funny- relevant- and heart-warming with great singing and dancing! Nina West was wonderful as Edna Turnblad, , as were the actors who played Wilber, Tracy, Link, Penny, and Seaweed! And the Dynamites and Motormouth Mabel were fantastic!! The sound however was a problem at times with crackling, volume, and mics going in/out- seems to be a tech/engineer issue, not a performer one. It was a wonderful night at the Dolby in LA!

This show was high energy, crowd captivating, toe tapping, amazingly strong and talented touting group that absolutely nailed this show! One of the strongest shows I’ve seen in a while! So glad I went!🎶❤️🎶

Took my 9 year old who loves to sing, dance and all of the above. Watching her react to the amazing performances and singing and dancing was something that will forever stay engraved in my mind and heart. It has so many messages that kids (and sadly adults) need to be reminded of nowadays. Equality, body image, bullying, goal setting, following your dreams, love, friendship, etc. It wasn’t boring or long, and even the songs that sometimes feel like “fillers” were done so nicely that you ended up feeling like they were singing directly to you. The energy and vibe was all there, and EVERYONE on stage was rocking it! Wether they were dancing in front of the crowd or all the way on back. Everyone brought it! Go watch it! You’ll love it!

We have had Overture Broadway season tickets for years and have seen both outstanding and less-than-so productions. Our last show before the pandemic was the incomparable Hamilton and our first since Covid was supposed to be Mean Girls which was cancelled due to (drum roll) Covid. So, our expectations for Hairspray were not high. This show and these performers blew us away!! The talent these kids displayed was amazing and the joy they shared was contagious. Niki Metcalf (Tracy) has a gorgeous voice and the comedy duet with Andrew Levitt and Christopher Swan (Edna and Wilbur) was a standout. My only complaint was that the orchestra occasionally played over the beautiful singing voices. One of the best Broadway shows we have seen at the Overture, ever! Go see if if you can.

I loved the show, but then musical comedies are my favorite. Cast was so enthusiastic, I wanted to get up and dance with them.
