Hairspray - Soundtrack To The Motion Picture

Welcome to the '60s! This soundtrack certainly does just that. The movie itself was just awesome, and I found it fitting that the director, Adam Shankman, said he made this movie in celebration of the music, as the songs explode with Broadway brilliance and fun. All the great tunes from the film are here, along with some others that didn't make it onscreen, but were added, most appropriately, to the recording. Fantastic singing by all the cast members, wonderful music arrangements, and great energy and exuberance that never fails to uplift me every time I hear it.

If you saw the movie and loved it, and/or just want to step back in time for some fun, then this album is a must. It's a feel-good pill for down-in-the-dumps days, one you'll want to take over and over again.

I think that the CD has a lot of good songs and I would recommend it to anyone who likes the movie.

this CD has some of the most powerful songs one can ever perform.... Nice melodies, strong lyrics....great voices to model... It is a great tool in a classroom setting, especially in singing classes

I am probably going to be crucified for saying this, but I thought the film was terrific with one glaring exception..John Travolta. While I think he is immensely talented...here he just seems immense! I found him difficult to watch, his fake voice annoying...his fat costume too disconcerting. Why didn't they have Harvey Fierstein recreate his Tony winning role?
The rest of the cast are delightful! Nicky Blonski is wonderful, as are Michele Pfeiffer (Always!), Queen Latifah (Always!), Christopher Walken, etc... Lot's of marvelous colorful fun!!

The product was as described. The only thing was I ordered 2 things at the same time, this being one of them, and the other came about a week faster. The product was what was decribed and I wasn't in a hurry so it was all good.
