It may have taken awhile, but the Tony Award-winning stage version of John Waters' cult classic Hairspray finally made its way across the pond and opened last week in London's Shaftesbury Theatre to rapturous reviews. The new production stars Michael Ball as Edna, newcomer Leanne Jones as Tracy and Mel Smith as Wilbur, seen above in a Turnblad family portrait.With a score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, director Jack O’Brien and choreographer Jerry Mitchell oversaw the West End production (which is currently booking through March 15).
