Yesterday we attended a free screening of the movie Hairspray. I've always resisted seeing this because the idea of someone playing a cross dressing role never appealed to me. I should not have been so closed minded.
If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. It's high energy and filled with lots of catchy and memorable songs. It's even got an appealing story. John Travolta is not to be missed as a woman.
The screening was followed by a question and answer with Nikki Blonsky who plays Tracy. It was quite cute with a lot of the questions going to the younger kids who clearly adored her. She's as peppy and enthusiastic in person as she is on film.
It was a fun outing for us too. It's rare that we get into New York City and the I was particularly taken with the number of people out and about on the street. As a native New Yorker (or Brooklynite in truth) it shouldn't really be so remarkable but, after so many years in
Westfield New Jersey, it felt good to be in a place where the car isn't king.
