Hairspray

Had been watching lots of movies in this month. Each movie with their own themes and messages to be delivered to people. Some are funny,some are sad, some are exciting and etc etc. And among all these movies, one of them really deserves complimentary comments (at least from me), so i decided to write about this special movie - Hairspray, a musical based on the sixties trend.

The story is about a teenage girl who dreams going on a local TV show in Baltimore called 'The Corny Collins Show' in the sixties. Of course, things will be much easier if she is blonde,tall, thin and beautiful, but well sometimes things don't happen the way we wish. She is totally the opposite - fat, stout and short. But to have a big and kind heart, i guess she's prettier than anything else. Not only that, she also has the strong determination and the 'happy go lucky' attitude which i found really cute. And that's our Tracy. So, will she be able to get to the show and fulfill her dreams?

Actually the story of Hairspray isn't just some musical shows with lots of singings and dancings without any valuable themes. This musical brings about the themes on confidence, love, perspective of beauty and integration. One of the reasons why musical shows are much better in conveying the author's messages compared to movies is that the use of musics and songs, together with wonderful lyrics which allow the concept to flow into viewers' mind smoothly and easilly, and this, Hairspray the musical has done an excellent job. I had once watched another musical called 'The Producer', which inside they mentioned that a musical show has to be happy,and i totally agree with it. Hairspray is a musical that brings so much joy and fun the viewers, at least you don't have to struggle with your heart nor drop tears for the characters. After all, that's what entertainment should be, right?

I like this musical not only because of its themes, but also on the songs played inside. Songs like Good Morning Baltimore, Without Love, You're Timeless To Me, Miss Baltimore Crabs (though this song is really nasty, but i like it, haha), I Can Hear The Bells and Mama,I Am Big Girl Now are really entertaining. They make you wanna to dance and sing together, thus spreading the joy and happiness among the viewers. You will be able to smile, laugh, sing and dance with a bright mood while watching Hairspray, and don't you agree it's wonderful enough to do all that at the same time?

I have just uploaded some songs of Hairspray here, so take a breath, relax and enjoy the moments : )
