Product Description
Audiences have fallen in love with Hairspray and its heroine, Tracy Turnblad--a girl with big hair, big dreams and an even bigger heart--since John Waters created this original, subversively hilarious film in 1988. Next the hit Broadway musical won countless more fans and an armful of Tonys in 2003. Now Hairspray returns to the screen as an innovative movie musical from New Line Cinema, the producers of Chicago, and director-choreographer Adam Shankman.
This lavish companion book celebrates the singular phenomenon that is Hairspray, and the supremely talented cast and crew who brought this new incarnation to life. Features about the cast, locations, sets, and costumes give readers an intimate look behind the scenes. Here are profiles of Hairspray's extraordinary actors, all of whom do their own singing and dancing in the film. John Travolta stars in a career-bending twist as Edna Turnblad, the role created by the late Divine. The dream cast also includes Queen Latifah (Motormouth Maybelle), Michelle Pfeiffer (Velma Von Tussle), and Christopher Walken (Wilbur Turnblad) as well as rising young stars led by new talent Nikki Blonsky as Tracy.
Hairspray captures the spirit of a time when everything was changing, in music and in society. This special volume captures the essence of the film's creative achievement with more than 200 vivid production photographs and first-person contributions by Waters, director Shankman (Bringing Down the House), and producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. From casting and scripting to rehearsing, shooting scenes and recording the music--it's all explored and depicted in a unique collector's edition.
Features:
Film poster and postcards
Booklets that highlight various behind-the-scenes production details
Character profiles including a tip-in "45 RPM single," key facts and Hairspray trivia printed on the facsimile record's sleeve

Un libro de coleccion solo para fans de hueso colorado October 13, 2008
Salvador Hernandez (Mexico, D.F.)
Saludos.
Esta revision la podria escribir en ingles, pero va dirigida a las personas de Mexico y habla hispana que sean verdaderos fans de la pelicula.
Tuve la fortuna de ver la pelicula en cine y me gusto mucho, pero no fue hasta que la vi por segunda vez que me volvi fan de la pelicula. Me puse a investigar todo sobre ella, desde saber que era un remake de la version de 1988 y adaptacion del musical de Broadway (al que un dia tendre la oportunidad de ir a verla en vivo).
Fue tanto mi interes, que un dia me puse a revisar que articulos de Hairspray vendian en Amazon hasta que di con este libro.
En pocas palabras, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Este libro de coleccion incluye anecdotas de la produccion, del porque se animaron a hacer esta nueva pelicula, fichas de los actores y su opinion de los personajes que encarnaron, datos anecdoticos, fotos durante el rodaje y fuera de...
Bueno, es un libro que deben tener es su coleccion, si gustan de las peliculas musicales y les encanto Hairspray, haganse de este libro, le encantara.

A Perfect Companion November 22, 2007
James Hiller (Beaverton, OR)
The just released movie on DVD "Hairspray" is a phenomenon and a force to be reckoned with. Possibly one of the best movies of the year, Hairspray is about acceptance in a time when it wasn't expected. The Adam Shankman movie is fun, energetic, and full of life. And so is this marvelous companion book.
Filled with pictures, behind the scenes stories, and narratives by all of the principal movers and shakers in the movie, "Hairspray: The Movie Musical" serves as a wonderful guide. The information contained in the book offers a peek inside the creative process. It's amazing the amount of talent and work that goes into an hour and a half movie.
Just as fun as the movie is, this book covers it all, and doesn't leave you hanging. If you have a Hairspray Fan in your family, this is the PERFECT Christmas present: affordable and really, really fun!
