    This song and cast have so much power and energy it's intoxicating! They should put this Australian cast show on DVD - it would fly out the door especially with our Australian spin on it and those cast members. One of the best casts I've ever seen, which is why I went to the live show. Get to it if you can, absolutely amazing. Mind blowing. Well done, director, choreographer and all associated with this version. Amazing. Totally 5 stars! Bring out a DVD of this show with this cast.

    I saw this at preview night (which happened to be my birthday). There were some minor tech glitches like a door falling off but they were pros how they resolved the issues and people cheered as they made those corrections. Shane (best know overseas for his Kenny character) did a fantastic job as the mum. Even better then Travolta. Todd who played the husband had such a great rapport throughout that their playfulness during timeless to me had the audience rolling off their seats with laughter. Best show I've seen in a long time.

    I really love how clean the ensemble's vocals are. This number has been jokingly called "You Can't Stop to Breathe" due to the tongue-twister lyrics and high-octane choreography. But this cast sound so good! Amazing!

      You were never supposed to not see colour. That erases the differences instead of celebrating it. Not seeing colour is what happens like stolen generation when you raise a black child as white and the kid loses all connection to theor family

    Still a fun number, but I hate the lyric change from "and it DON'T see white FROM black" to "it sees BOTH white and black". The latter puts an emphasis on seeing color, while the former says color doesn't matter, because we are all members of the same human race. I thought that was the message of Hairspray.

    • @grishamlocke1428
      @grishamlocke1428 2 года назад +23

      they changed the lyrics because the creators felt the lyrics didn’t hold up. when the show was transferred to the stage from the movie, it was enough to say “we’re all human” because that was the necessary message then. now, it’s necessary for us to realize that as a society it IS important to realize the differences in our cultures because that’s what makes us so beautiful as a human race. We DO have different experiences and cultures across race, ethnicity, religion, or whatever metric you choose-but that’s beautiful. by seeing both “white AND black” we can acknowledge our equality while maintaining our beautiful and unique identities.

      @@grishamlocke1428 As individual human beings, we ALL have different and unique CULTURAL experiences. But the challenges we face as HUMAN BEINGS is what makes us all the same. That's what the Civil Rights Movement, which I lived thru, was all about. "It don't see white from black"! Or any other color or ethnicity. If aliens from another planet came after us none of that would matter because they'd see us all as being from the same team. Because WE ARE ALL FROM THE SAME TEAM!

    Having seen this in Sydney, a great cast was let down by technical difficulties with unintelligible sound mixing, mics not being turned on, weak dance choreography, an overly large number of sex jokes, an ensemble cast that felt half the size of other shows and non-existent set design, to the point where one can wonder why they needed such a large stage for such a small show. If you saw the 2011 show, then seeing this one will leave you pining for the good old days, because all this how has going for it is the cast... when you can actually hear them.

    • @jerryhilario9787
      @jerryhilario9787 Год назад

      Absolutely agree Liz. The 2010/2011 production with the LED lights and the more intensive dance chorey was insanely good and underrated. It was a production that I wish was successful and used around the world.
      Too bad it fell flat with sales and ended abruptly in Sydney

      This was a carbon copy of the original Broadway production. This was suppose to come to Australia way back in the late 2000s. The “hold” on the show by this very company that produced this version expired and that’s how David atkins was able to swoop in and produce the 2011 production with the LED screens.
      I saw the show twice in Melbourne and flew to Sydney when I heard it was closing early and it was a fantastic production.
