Summary: Nice, Include The Whole Script
Comment: A Very Good Read. I think the authors should include the entire libretto of the wonderful TONY winning show!
The pictures are wonderful! The diary entries and very interesting as is the timeline in the begining of the book!
It's a good read for theater lovers!
I have one more little comment. I would have liked to see the Special Ed. scene in the book. I saw the show and found that scene very funny and would have loved to see it in this book! Great book however!
Rating: 4
Summary: Almost as much fun as the show!
Comment: I have loved this show since I first listenend to the recording, and after seeing the show I think I may be obsessed with it. The show is completely fun and entertaining and this book does a good job at capturing the spirit and energy of the show. I particularly like all the full color photos and candids of the cast offstage as well as the "diary" entries from Marisa Jaret Winokur (Tracy) and Harvey Firestein (Edna). This book is worth it!

Summary: Excellent yet imperfect companion to the hit Broadway show.
Comment: If you're a fan of the Broadway musical Hairspray, then you need this book. It's really that simple. In addition to a detailed history of the show, tons of photos, insider information, detailed analyses of previous versions of the script and the script that was eventually used, and even more information in general than you could possibly digest in one (or even two) readings, it's full of exactly the same kind of wacky, irreverant style and humor that's found in the show and that's helped to make it such a big success on Broadway. Hairspray: The Roots is hip, hilarious, colorful, and, in its own way, very musical.
Only one thing prevents the book from being the perfect example of its kind and earning a five star rating: it does not preserve the entire complete libretto of the show, choosing instead to eliminate the dialogue in places and replace it with scene descriptions. While this is unthinkable and incomprehensible given the sheer amount of information that was included and the great care that has been put into every other element of it, in the end, this particular frustration remains minor. If you can live with that, you'll find no other flaw in this remarkable, must-own volume.
