Podcasts about Hairspray

Originally recorded for my other podcast Was It Chance? with my co-host Heather Vickery, this conversation with director, producer, educator, and author David Armstrong felt like a perfect fit for The Theatre Podcast as well. David shares stories from his remarkable 40-year career in theatre — including his years leading Seattle's Fifth Avenue Theatre, where he helped develop Hairspray before it became a Broadway smash. We dive into his new book, Broadway Nation: How Immigrant, Jewish, Queer, and Black Artists Invented the Broadway Musical, and explore how marginalized voices shaped the art form we love today. From childhood performances in Cincinnati to mentoring future generations through his course at the University of Washington and his Broadway Nation podcast, David embodies what it means to take creative risks, honor history, and build the future of theatre. Make sure to check out Was It Chance? wherever you are listening now.

We sit down with David Armstrong — lifelong theater-maker, educator, and author of Broadway Nation: How Immigrant, Jewish, Queer, and Black Artists Invented the Broadway Musical. David's 40-year career as a director, producer, choreographer, and writer has been steeped in creative risk, from his 18 years leading Seattle's Fifth Avenue Theatre (where Hairspray began!) to hosting the Broadway Nation podcast and now teaching Broadway history at the University of Washington. His passion for illuminating the overlooked creators of America's most iconic art form is both inspiring and overdue. We talk about the evolution of Broadway through marginalized voices, the political power of art that doesn't look political, and how risk-taking theaters like the Fifth Avenue became incubators for some of Broadway's greatest hits. David shares the creative leap that led to Hairspray, how collaboration with an audience shapes a show's success, and the “legacy chains” connecting generations of musical theater creators — from Otto Harbach to Lin-Manuel Miranda. He also gets candid about failure, what it really feels like when a show “almost” works, and why he still sees risk as essential to the creative process.

She reflects on the leaps of faith that shaped her career, the moments when following her gut changed everything, and the surreal honor of performing for the King of England.

Stage is set, and we're gunna go right over the top..with Cliches, claims and predictions that are gunna be hard to cop.Don't despair, don't lose hope there'll be smatterings of intelligent chatBut its the Grapple Baby and its finals…and that is mutha fuckin that This week our heroes wax lyrical about the Rugby League Worlds very own T1000…Penrith can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with. they don't feel pity, remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!Can they get past the Prodigal Ponies on Sunday in a triumphant return to arvo finals footy? Most likely not as Madge will no doubt make some eyebrow raising, boneheaded, flummoxing selection changes when he should simply abide by the age old Rugby League adage-“too many hamstrings spoil the broth”.Melbourne with the likely return of the Diver and little Papi seem certain to book a spot at the dance for 47th time under Bellyaches rein of terror, but standing in their way are a bunch of teeth bearing Selachimorpha, playing at a level and with a patience seldom seen in the genus since 2016. Two GF replays from the last decade. Prelim weekend never gets any better.Speaking of species specific encounters, the felines take centre stage at the G on Saturday.One mob hoping to slink through, scratch a post or two, piss on someone's jacket and settle down to a plate of Whiskas whilst paying no one any attention. Another looking to tear their way through a jungle, rip to shreds anything that dares to make contact and create a dynasty of the early 2000's variety. Our heroes never doubted them.Wallabies to bury the AB's at Eden Park, Europe to go B2B in the Ryder Cup and as we've known for at least 3 weeks now, The Colts are gunna win the Super Bowl.No Broader problem but definitely plenty of Grappling to be done, just like Buzz Grappling with who his next faux feud needs to be with.Hey Liver Lips.... Come Get some. Grapple out.

Voici un film coloré, gay, et fort bien coiffé, jʹai nommé Hairspray, de John Waters, une comédie sortie en 1988. Mais comment dire…. Hairspray est une réalisation du pape du mauvais goût, du cinéma trash américain, qui, ici, met de lʹeau dans son vin ou de la laque dans ses cheveux, pour proposer un film un peu plus familial que ses œuvres précédentes. Mais ça reste particulier. Hairspray est un film qui va vous interpeler. Déjà parce quʹil vous donnera envie de danser. Cʹest un film qui se moque des émissions de télévisées des années 60 où des jeunes gens, blancs si possibles et pas trop moches, se trémoussaient sur un Madison, un Mashed Patato, un Twist, ou toute autre danse du moment. Ensuite, parce quʹil résonne bizarrement. Derrière la danse, le glamour, les paillettes et les coupes de cheveux incroyables, se cachent des réalités sociales et sociétales que John Waters dénonce : le racisme et lʹexclusion des gens différents du paysage médiatique, en lʹoccurrence, mais également de tout un pan culturel contemporain. Les années 60 à Baltimore, la ville de John Waters, ne sont pas tendres pour les Afro-américains ni pour les obèses ou les personnes en surpoids. Hairspray est un film criard, avec des comédiens et comédiennes un peu brut de décoffrage, avec pas mal dʹartistes reconnus comme  Sonny Bono, ex-compagnon de Cher, Debbie Harry, la chanteuse de Blondie, avec Ruth Brown, chanteuse, the Queen of R&B, avec Pia Zadora et plein de jeunes gens dont Ricki Lake qui interprète le personnage principal. Hairspray, premier film grand public de John Waters est aussi le dernier de Divine,  son acteur fétiche, un travesti obèse décédé peu après. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Nous avons des archives, des interviews, des extraits, et beaucoup de musique. Place à la critique sociale, au pastiche et à la danse dans Travelling.

Double Olivier-Nominated actress, Marisha Wallace hails from North Carolina, USA where her love of singing began in her local church with her family. She made her Broadway debut in Aladdin directed by Casey Nicholaw and, following that, went into the Original Broadway Cast of Something Rotten. A last-minute request to go to London to take over the role of Effie White in Dreamgirls in the West End, a role she was only supposed to do for three weeks, turned into eight years in the role!Marisha went onto star in the Original West End Cast of Waitress playing Becky and the revival of Hairspray at the Coliseum playing Motormouth Maybelle. Her formidable performances led to Director Daniel Fish asking her to play Ado Annie in his ground-breaking production of Oklahoma! at the Young Vic Theatre, for which she was nominated for the WhatsOnStage, Evening Standard and Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical. It was quickly followed by another smash-hit revival, Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre directed by Sir Nicholas Hytner, for which she was nominated for the WhatsOnStage, Evening Standard and Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical.On screen Marisha has appeared in the most recent series of Feel Good and Jingle Jangle for Netflix, Almost Never on CBBC, and Aladdin for Disney. Alongside her acting career, she is an international singer-songwriter. She frequently collaborates on new music with songwriting legends Toby Gad (Beyoncé, John Legend) and Steve Anderson (Kylie Minogue). Last year Marisha performed live for HRH King Charles and Queen Camilla on two occasions, as well as at the D-Day at 80 on the BBC, the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall on ITV1, and on Dancing On Ice.Marisha's performance as ‘Sally Bowles' in Rebecca Frecknall's production of Cabaret in the West End, received critical acclaim.

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter sits down with independent, brand‑agnostic educator Brenda Amaral to unpack the chemistry truths that help stylists cut waste, get predictable results, and stop fear‑buying shelves full of “just in case” tubes. Brenda pulls back the curtain on the tariff panic, “stock up now” messaging, and ammonia‑free buzzwords that keep colorists spending more than they need to.From why endless glazing can actually speed up fading, to putting the “filler” directly in the bowl instead of double processing, to how a 5‑minute heated test strand can save an accidental color correction, Brenda shows how understanding base chemistry gives you freedom: leaner inventory, cleaner formulas, faster decisions, and longer‑lasting color your clients notice. They also hit the sneaky ways aerosol hairspray sabotages fresh tone before the client even checks out—and what to do instead.Key Takeaways:Fear Selling vs Facts: How tariff talk and “shortage” messaging push unnecessary bulk buying—and how to audit what actually moves.Glossing Myth Check: Why routine clear glossing on already colored hair can swell the cuticle and flush pigment instead of “sealing” it.“Put the Filler in the Bowl”: Skip the dated two‑step fill—add controlled warmth directly to the target formula and verify with a quick test strand.Ammonia‑Free ≠ Damage‑Free: MEA and other substitutes don't just vanish—what residue reactivation means for cumulative stress and fading.Hairspray: The #1 Fresh Color Killer—Why high pH + alcohol right after a service accelerates fade, and smarter finishing swaps.Inventory Condensing: One adaptable line + chemistry knowledge can replace rows of single‑purpose SKUs (and clear literal and mental shelf space).Test Strand Speed Hack: An inch of hair + a capful of developer + heat in 5 minutes beats guessing (and wasted tubes).Why You Should Listen:If you're watching color costs climb, battling mid‑cycle fade, or feeling buried under duplicate shades “just in case,” this episode hands you the framework to trim inventory without trimming creativity. You'll walk away with immediately usable tweaks—how you finish, formulate, and problem‑solve—that protect profit, boost client loyalty, and make formulation feel intentional instead of reactive. It's not about buying a new system; it's about finally leveraging the chemistry behind the one you already own.Check out what Brenda has to offer with the resources below:https://www.instagram.com/truehaireducation/https://www.truehaireducation.com/Let's connect on Instagram!Join us on the Modern Hairstylist Tour!

This episode of 'Raised by Ricki' originally aired October 11, 2022. He’s shocking, raunchy, and can’t ever be censored. Today, Ricki talks to her lifelong friend John Waters, whose iconic film “Hairspray” has become a theater favorite. It’s also where Ricki, playing Tracy Turnblad, made her movie debut. After working on several films together, the two have become lifelong friends. They dish on their crazy memories of working on set, John’s appearance on The Ricki Lake Show, and what it’s like to have your work labeled as “trashy.” Please note, Raised By Ricki contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.

Writer, director, actor, and artist John Waters has been making avant-garde cinema since the 1960s. His movies have pushed boundaries and shocked audiences with their wild characters and surreal storylines, even as they offer piercing insights into popular American culture and society. While he experienced mainstream crossover success by the 1980s and into the 2000s, and has been embraced by many in the entertainment industry, John Waters is inherently an outsider –- and he wouldn't have it any other way. He is a unique, visionary queer voice in American cinema. So for one of our 2025 Pride specials, the Great Pop Culture Debate looks back on 8 of The Pope of Trash's most notable movies and attempts to name the Best John Waters Film. Movies discussed: Hairspray (1988), Serial Mom (1994), Pink Flamingos (1972), Cry-Baby (1990), Female Trouble (1974), Mondo Trasho (1969), Polyester (1981), Pecker (1998). Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelist Jonny Minogue, and special guests Erin Marlow from the It's a Fandom Thing podcast, and Joshua Grannell AKA Peaches Christ, alternative drag icon and host of the Midnight Mass podcast, as they discuss 8 of the most notorious John Waters films.

Richies, for Pride Month we bring you a true hero to - and champion of - the queer community. A filmmaker who brings an oddball sensibility and counter-culture vibe to the mainstream. Director John Waters has been marching to the beat of his own drum since he was little boy, doing twisted puppet shows at birthday parties and drawing with black crayons. Born and raised in a Baltimore suburb, John knows early on that he's different. And he embraces it. His early films like “Pink Flamingos” are so deliberately gross and funny that they earn him the nickname “The Pope of Trash.” But behind the shock value is a real artist. He eases his way into the mainstream flicks like “Polyester” and then “Hairspray.” John Waters' lasting film legacy is to embrace and celebrate society's weirdos.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
