From a real theatre musical buff, certainly the best show in the west end, all singing, dancing and energetic. I would advise anyone to go and see it who's feeling down and get a real feel good lift.

Congratulations to the cast on a fantastic show. Ben James-Ellis is perfect for the role of Link. His acting and singing are brilliant and his dancing, simply amazing.
As Ben said "if you're having a bad day and you come and see Hairspray you'll feel better" It is so true - can't wait to come and see it for a third time. Love Lindsay x

Hello - Hairspray, Ben, Leanne and Michael Ball have all been nominated for awards in the Whats on Stage Theatregoers awards.
You can vote for them on www.whatsonstage.com and go to Awards section. It would be brilliant if they were all to win - and so very well deserved!
I can't wait to see the show for the 3rd time!
Love Lindsay x
