Editorial Review:
Audiences have fallen in love with Hairspray and its heroine, Tracy Turnblad--a girl with big hair, big dreams and an even bigger heart--since John Waters created this original, subversively hilarious film in 1988. Next the hit Broadway musical won countless more fans and an armful of Tonys in 2003. Now Hairspray returns to the screen as an innovative movie musical from New Line Cinema, the producers of Chicago, and director-choreographer Adam Shankman.
This lavish companion book celebrates the singular phenomenon that is Hairspray, and the supremely talented cast and crew who brought this new incarnation to life. Features about the cast, locations, sets, and costumes give readers an intimate look behind the scenes. Here are profiles of Hairspray's extraordinary actors, all of whom do their own singing and dancing in the film. John Travolta stars in a career-bending twist as Edna Turnblad, the role created by the late Divine. The dream cast also includes Queen Latifah (Motormouth Maybelle), Michelle Pfeiffer (Velma Von Tussle), and Christopher Walken (Wilbur Turnblad) as well as rising young stars led by new talent Nikki Blonsky as Tracy.
Hairspray captures the spirit of a time when everything was changing, in music and in society. This special volume captures the essence of the film's creative achievement with more than 200 vivid production photographs and first-person contributions by Waters, director Shankman (Bringing Down the House), and producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. From casting and scripting to rehearsing, shooting scenes and recording the music--it's all explored and depicted in a unique collector's edition.
Features:
Film poster and postcards
Booklets that highlight various behind-the-scenes production details
Character profiles including a tip-in "45 RPM single," key facts and Hairspray trivia printed on the facsimile record's sleeve
Hairspray Reviews:
Un libro de colección solo para fans de hueso colorado 
2008-10-13 - Saludos.
Esta revisión la podría escribir en ingles, pero va dirigida a las personas de México y habla hispana que sean verdaderos fans de la película.
Tuve la fortuna de ver la película en cine y me gusto mucho, pero no fue hasta que la vi por segunda vez que me volví fan de la película. Me puse a investigar todo sobre ella, desde saber que era un remake de la versión de 1988 y adaptación del musical de Broadway (al que un día tendré la oportunidad de ir a verla en vivo).
Fue tanto mi interés, que un día me puse a revisar que artículos de Hairspray vendían en Amazon hasta que dí con este libro.
En pocas palabras, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Este libro de colección incluye anécdotas de la producción, del porque se animaron a hacer esta nueva película, fichas de los actores y su opinión de los personajes que encarnaron, datos anecdóticos, fotos durante el rodaje y fuera de...
Bueno, es un libro que deben tener es su colección, si gustan de las películas musicales y les encanto Hairspray, háganse de este libro, le encantará.

A Perfect Companion
2007-11-22 - The just released movie on DVD "Hairspray" is a phenomenon and a force to be reckoned with. Possibly one of the best movies of the year, Hairspray is about acceptance in a time when it wasn't expected. The Adam Shankman movie is fun, energetic, and full of life. And so is this marvelous companion book.
Filled with pictures, behind the scenes stories, and narratives by all of the principal movers and shakers in the movie, "Hairspray: The Movie Musical" serves as a wonderful guide. The information contained in the book offers a peek inside the creative process. It's amazing the amount of talent and work that goes into an hour and a half movie.
Just as fun as the movie is, this book covers it all, and doesn't leave you hanging. If you have a Hairspray Fan in your family, this is the PERFECT Christmas present: affordable and really, really fun!
Great Product 
2007-11-08 - Awesome. I like the fact that it has inserts of little things that happened during that time in history and I especially like the cards that show the danceres that were on the Corney Collins Show. Grat product
