The cast of Hairspray the Musical has been unofficially announced today.
The cast has been made up of primarily performs that are relative unknowns, but have performed professionally. This cast includes:
Tracy: Jaz Flowers
Penny: Esther Hannaford
Link: Jack Chambers
Wilbur: Grant Piro
Edna: Trever Ashley
Velma: Marney McQueen
Corny Collins: Scott Irwin
Amber and Maybel have yet to be announced, but the signs seem to point to Cle from Australian Idol taking on Motormouth Maybel. This blogger hopes this is not the cast - Cle is far too young. This blogger would like to see Darleene Love reprise her role from Broadway.
The rumours are that the ensemble cast will mostly perform with pre-recorded vocals.
Whatever happened to live theatre?
