I love "Hairspray"!!! So as I have said before, I'm really into "HIgh School Musical", and of course it's the biggest Disney revolution to date, and I think it single handedly brought back musicals for my generation. YAY! So "Hairspray" was spawned for 2007! I first learned about "Hairspray" aroung April when I saw a little sign for it at the theatres when I was seeing another movie. And that's when it caught my interest. At first I thought it was gonna be cheesy and no one would see it. Then about a month and half later, I went to West Palm Beach, FL and saw a preview at the theatres for "Hairspray" and I was instantly hooked. I knew it was gonna be really big when Zac Efron (who is also the lead guy in High School Musical), came on the preview and the girls in the audience screamed for him! I was like OMG, this is crazy. So since then I have been counting down the months, than weeks, then days and even hours until I could see it. And finally that inevitable Friday came. Friday, July 20, 2007. I went to work at 8 AM, and was there until 6:30 PM doing nothing but thinking about going to the movies. Finally I got out of work, rushed home, got on Fandango.com and tried to get tickets for the 7:20 PM showing, but it was sold out! So the 8:20 PM show it was. And this is how the evening went.
So I buy the 8:20 PM tickets and we're off to the movies. I am so excited I snap this picture on the way to the movies... and don't worry I wasn't driving.

OK so we're on the road, now ming you we left the house at 7:00 PM, and we get to the main road and there is traffic, so we sit on the Bay Bridge for about 15 minutes and get to the theatre at around 7:30 PM. Since we already bought the tickets, all we had to do was give them our slip and they printed up our real tickets. Which is seen here...

. So after we get our stubs, the lady kindly says your over there, in that line. Look over and there is a line the size of Texas- ok maybe not- but still its pretty big considering it was 50 minutes before the movie even started. So this is the front half of the line...

. So we get in line and wait for about 10 mintutes and then we are greeted by the theatre manager who comes out with a "Hairspray" wig in his hands. He announces that the show is sold out and that we will all have to sit shoulder to shoulder. So we are all let in and find our seats. Thankfully we got awesome seats, despite the crowd. So now the time is 7:50 PM and the theatre is virtually full 30 minutes before the previews even start! Seats become valuble commodities, and small fights start over seats. Anyway, I get more and more excited to the point that my stomach is in knots! So I get up and relive my bladder at around 8:10 PM. Then I run back to the theatre and people are talking excitedly as the seconds count down to 8:20PM. The lights dim and the cheers begin. All of this excitement makes me get up and run to the bathroom again! I run back into the theatre, and sit all anxious about the movie. And then for a third time, I get up and dart to the mens room. I was so excited, I had to pee every freakin 5 minutes! So sit back down and the movie starts. Zac Efron is shown and all the girls swoon, I swear he's the freaking next Brad Pitt! So lucky. Anyway, it was pretty cool that the whole movie is based right here in Baltimore, my very own backyard. Even made it that much better. Anywho, when the movie ended, everyone screamed and clapped with satisfied joy. The credit music begins and everyone gets up and starts dancing in the isles. I leave the theatre completely happy with the experience, realizing that this truly is my generations "Grease". I enjoyed the movie so much that the next day, I actually saw it again. Musicals are truly making a comeback with "High School Musical", "Hairspray", "High School Musical 2", the remake of "Footloose" (which has Zac Efron as the lead character), and talk of "High School Musical 3" coming to theatres to close out the series! All of which have Zac Efron, what the heck? Seriously. LOL. Anyway, I'm excited about all of these movies, and can't wait to see each one of them!
