Hairspray

Hairspray takes the spot at one of my favorite musicals. It had great music throughout the movie and the story was concise which included suspense, creativity, and fun. The character choice of the movie was phenomenal. Nicky Blonsky was an unknown actor for me and she played Tracy Turnlab flawlessly along with John Travolta playing an obese mother in contrast to his other roles in other movies. This movie was based on the time where integration really grew in the United States and the way they exemplified that with dance and music really went well in the overall production of this film.
