As a director, who has directed this show, I can tell you that the cast was marvelous! Edna and Tracy were perfect, the heartfelt realness of Tracy was endearing. A real joy to watch!

This production is like broadway, the sets, the singing, the costumes. Tracy, Edna, Corny Collins, Penny, Amber and Velma in this cast could be on broadway. An amazing production

Amber has an excellent voice! Honestly this whole production is very impressive; excellent strength in the chorus, wonderful dancing, and honestly Penny is SO CUTE

The girl who plays Tracy has one hell of an amazing voice!

At first I thought she was saying good morning Voldemort 😂😂

So i did this musical in fifth grade and now that i watch this i realize that my teacher copied EVERYTHING from this video and she said it was her ideas...

March 24 and 26 2011 I was a senior and I was Motormouth Maybelle. Best three months of my life. Thankfully I have the dvd to look back at all the memories we made. :D

my school is doing a production on "Hairspray JR." and i was lucky enough to be casted as Tracy Turnblad. We are two months in and so far its amazing and the people i work with are also truly amazing

Tracy: * auditions * Ms. Baltimore: *I'm bout' to end this man's whole career*

Oh man I wish my drama class was better funded so we could put on plays like this :(

0:26 Good Morning Baltimore 4:05 The Nicest Kids in Town 14:22 Mama I’m a Big Girl Now 18:47 I Can Hear the Bells 23:29 Miss Baltimore Crabs 29:33 The Madison 33:05 The Nicest Kids Reprise 36:30 It Takes Two 40:54 Velma’s Revenge 44:25 Welcome to the 60’s (my favorite) 54:48 Run and Tell That 1:06:18 Big, Blonde, and Beautiful 1:11:58 The Big Dollhouse 1:19:43 Baltimore Reprise 1:23:57 You’re Timeless to Me 1:31:43 Without Love 1:41:35 I know Where I’ve Been 1:45:35 (It’s) Hairspray 1:49:05 Cooties 1:50:46 You Can’t Stop the Beat

i cant get over how good this actually is i wish we could of done this at my school, the girl who plays penny could easily play her in the proper version of the show

This is very well performed for this not being the original cast!

hairspray is like one of the best movies i have ever seen :-)

I remember seeing this live when I was 5 I lost my tooth in an ice cream on the way out I remember having nightmares for 6+ years, of them spraying hairspray at the end (which didn't happen) and my mum's hair going big and poofy. Hairspray is still my favourite movie/theatre. I loved every part of this now and then. 💜

The girl who played Tracy use to be the assistant teacher for my musical theater class. She is so talented. I remember when she told us she was going to do this. But I graduated in 2011 so idk if this was just put on KZfaq late or what

This is a wonderful musical. My school did it in my junior year and I loved every second of it.

I love all their voices🥺 Here in 2020 gang✌😗👍 I love Hairspray!🥰

This is one of my top 3 favorite musicals (along with Rent and Hamilton). I’ve seen it live multiple times. As a resident of the Baltimore/DC suburbs, the local flavor makes it even more appealing. The Corny Collins show is based on a teen dance show that aired on local Baltimore TV in the 60’s called the Buddy Deane show.

Experienced this audio visual spectacle two years ago.. thanks for reviving the memories!

this is the best bootleg i've seen below broadway, im impressed!

Gorgeous and Wonderful!!! We in Russia also love this musical! This performance is gorgeous!!!

this is a pretty good production, i'm impressed. when i clicked i thought it was going to be an average high school show

Absolutely beautiful, had the jazz and heart of a stunning show, which means a lot to me because I am a huge fan of Hairspray so thank you for this great production of Hairspray!

I'm playing Tracy Turnblad in my University's production in Dec and this was fantastic to watch! I hope we can do it half as good as you, amazing! Well done to all! xx

This is a production by The Ritz Theatre Company in NJ, and best performance I've seen of Hairspray.

Penny looks 10 because of how short she seems.

Anyone already complimented this amazing scenery? Those scene-painter did a great job too. But you all are right: amazing cast!!

This cast is absolutely amazing and love this Link. So awesome.😊

Our first show is tonight, I play Seaweed, wish us luck >

I've watched this so many times because hairspray is my favourite musical ever. And this version is great. I love it, good job!!

Loving the set... like seriously...

Penny is an itsy bitsy thing!

Love how penny is always being carried around

Up until about two years ago I thought baltimore was a person i live in australia shut up

Addicted to hairspray

Just finished this production at my high school as Corny! This is like the 4th one I've watched on KZfaq since this past weekend haha you could say I'm a little bit nostalgic

((Update to my 8 month old comment)) I finally did this for a school play at my school and I got to play the main male role which was Link :3 I was happy that I got to kiss the girl of my dreams in front of my whole school. Then after the play I actually actually got to ask her to be my girlfriend and she said yes ~smiles~

About two years ago I played little Inez and absolutely loved it one of the best musicals ever!

Penny looks so small!

addicted to broadways

the actress playing tracy has a fabulous voice

I have been watching this frequently since 2014, and I have to say this is my favourite rendition of hairspray. Way better than the movie!

this was incredibly entertaining and very well put together! to all members "Bravo!"

Is this seriously just a high school production?!! I thought this was Broadway, amazing job 🙌

The Ritz Theatre Company presents Hairspray When: Show dates January 6-February 5, 2011 Where: The Ritz Theatre 915 White Horse Pike Haddon Township, NJ 08107 Filmed Oakland,New Jersey/America - February 6, 2011 Who: Melissa Tepperman (Tracy) Matthew Reher (Corny) Sarah Pearson (Velma) Mary Lamb (Amber) Bruce Curless (Edna) Denise Augustyn (Penny) Paul Weagraff (Wilbur) Kyrus Westcott (Seaweed) Tania Granger (Motormouth) Chad Parsons (Link) Janet Wilkie (Prudy).

What a marvelous production! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. This group of actors was fabulous.

I wish my school was rich enough to afford the rights and the props. I thought this was Broadway, it's just so well done

Wow! Excellent cast--amateur, I presume--but all of them turning in extremely professional performances. Edna and Tracy are both absolutely amazing!

this cast is amazing!!! the father character didn’t get a big enough cheer! this was really beautiful 💙💙💙

You REALLY have to give them props!!!!! It’s not easy to do a play let alone a musical!!! Let alone with hairspray around them. I try to sing while I’m at home doing my hair and always choke on my hairspray

One of the best things I've watched on KZfaq

I love how tiny and petite this Penny is

Wow that cast of hairspray were fantastic! The Set, Costumes, and the talent of all the cast. I was blown away n shakin ma booty on down to baltimore. lol

Thank you very much for such a lovely piece of work! We need to learn how to live among people, especially in days like this.

Penny looked so cute and little lol

We did this play during our 8th grade, and it was a success!! And this was the first performance I did as Velma that I discovered my singing and acting talents. :))

This was so fun to watch! Our community theater is doing auditions for this in a few months and I'm hoping to try out for Tracy, so it was great to watch the performance. The set was phenomenal!

Most of the comments are "i got this part, that part". WELL GOOD FOR YOU, MY SCHOOL OR ANY ORGANISATION WHERE IM AT DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY MUSICALS OR SHOWS

I've only ever been part of a Hairspray song once. In my theatre group, we did a music show where we sing a collection of musical songs. In the Hairspray section I was in a shortened version of You can't stop the beat, and finished it with a little solo dance. I would love to do more one day, fingers crossed. What I'd give to be on that stage with them, just fantastic! :)

Dudes, who's watching in 2017? LOL great show

all the people who disliked are the people that are friends with Amber vontessle

When I was eight I remember having to do this for my summer camp, and Baltimore was my favorite song to preform for, I still have the entire soundtrack downloaded on my (Currently) seven year old Ipad mini.

This show is is as fantastic and energetic as it gets. Thank you, Baltimore!

Amber is like a female Draco Malfoy, XD! The only thing she's missing is the line, "I'm telling me fah-ther on you!" in a sniveling voice.

This is stunning, I thought it was a professional production or even Broadway production. You did an amazing work.

Thank you for sharing this amazing production! Talented cast, musicians, creative choreo and staging! 👏👏👏

This is my favorite musical and it’s been done so perfectly❤️❤️😭😭

Tf is amber wearing in “mama I’m a big girl”

They skipped "Noreen, Doreen!"😂😂😂

I've found out this production was in the Ritz Theatre in New Jersey. It's absolutely fantastic!

This is one of the best productions I've ever seen.outstanding performances 🎭 from all.thank you for uploading x

I LOVE this version of the musical. Motormouth Maybelle's voice is music to my ears.

This DEFINITELY deserves all 1.3 million+ views. My school is also doing "Hairspray" and I'm a detention kid/ensemble

Link constantly turning her head at 38:50 is just too precious) Really like this production.

An absolute Masterpiece! Incredible choreography ! Well done !

I'm playing wilbur this year and our head boy is Edna 😂 so now I can say that I've danced with the head boy while he was in drag

This Penny is amazing!

The choreography for this production was stunning..

The best version of Hairspray was on the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas!!!!!!! They were amazing!!!!!!! I wish I could see it again with that cast!!!

GOOD MORNING VOOOOLDIMORT

great production of a great musical.. loved it

This is helping me learn my lines! We are doing the same script and I'm Tracy, trying to learn everything. I've watched this 3 times now!!

So glad to see a production of Hairspray that didn't cut out "Big Dollhouse!"

I wish my school put on shows like this, but we have a really low budget and our ceiling is apparently too low. We have a bigger stage in the gym, but we’re not allowed to have shows on the stage, so we’re kinda just kept in this room. We never really do musicals because our old drama teacher didn’t like them.

I get to play Edna in November. I can't wait to do it. Wish me luck.

I want to live in a world of spontaneous songs and dancing

This has been my favourite musical since I was about 2 and I’ve never seen it live..... I guess this is close enough

Mrs P: why is it everytime I tie up my daughter, the phone rings?!

Seaweed is so much better looking than Link (in my opinion!) I've always loved Seaweed as a character though, he's so slick and smooth, full of swagger and moves like jagger! Also, does anyone know a name that would be equivalent to Seaweed, because I'd like to do a generbent version of the character! :)

Wow! I would pay money to see this production. You guys were amazing!!

I’m going to be auditioning for Hairspray in the summer and one of my directors from my other shows who also going to be directing Hairspray at my theater wants me to be Tracie so I thought I do some research and watch Hairspray and when the “Good Morning Baltimore” started I already loved it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excellent Cast and Production!!!

This is excellent. One issue ─ the excellent band is just a fraction too dominant in places, obscuring the words of the singing.

My school is actually doing Hairspray Junior as our musical this year. I'm only a part of the Chorus, but I still love the idea of this. Haven't even watched the video yet and I know it will be good.

Some of the cast and crew that I found online, some of them might not have been in this particular show but in the production at some point. From The Ritz Theater in NJ Cast Melissa Tepperman-Tracy Turnblad Matthew Reher-Corny Collins Mary Lamb-Amber Von Tussle Chad Parsons-Link Larkin Bruce Curless-Edna Turnblad Denise Augustyn-Penny Pingleton Sarah Pearson-Velma Von Tussle Paul Weagraff-Wilbur Turnblad Kyrus Westcott-Seaweed J. Stubbs Tania Granger-Motormouth Maybelle Creatives & Crew Brian Rivell director / choreographer Marc G. Dalio-music director Mark Lenard-scenic designer Rob Paluso-costume designer

I freaking loved it! Great job to everybody! 😍😍❤️

i've fallen into the broadway show hole and now i think i'm stuck.

“I found a Q-Tip,a band-aid, and uh Rubber. But that must be mine.” 😂🤯

Tracy is so endearing. Great cast and show.
