Hairspray: Piano/Vocal Selections (Paperback)

~ Marc Shaiman (Composer), Scott Wittman (Composer)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Tony-winning musical Hairspray is the latest feel-good Broadway blockbuster, based on the 1988 John Waters movie of the same title. The music is by Marc Shaiman (who wrote the clever score to the musical film South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut), with lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. The story is set in Baltimore, 1962, and the songs are a snappy, affectionate homage to the rock and pop of the period. Our deluxe folio features 8 pages of wonderful color photos from the Broadway production, and piano/vocal arrangements of 12 songs: Good Morning Baltimore * The Nicest Kids in Town * Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now * I Can Hear the Bells * It Takes Two * Welcome to the '60s * Run and Tell That! * Big, Blonde and Beautiful * Timeless to Me * Without Love * I Know Where I've Been * You Can't Stop the Beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars The feel good factor continues, September 24, 2007

By	K. Howes (Midlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hairspray: Easy Piano Selections (Easy Piano Songbook) (Paperback)

As the saying goes, seen the movie, got the T shirt and now have a book of the sheet music. It's fab. I could not wait to play the music from the movie, that I just adore, and from the CD that I have on constantly in the car, and I was not disappointed. Twelve great songs that are really quite easy to play, lyrics too, to sing a long with. If you loved the music from the movie, and you are itching to recreate it a 'tad' from the comfort of your own home, you will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great music book for your collection, December 27, 2007

By	Linda "Mom of 5" (Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my daughter after she unwillingly returned her borrowed copy to the library. If you love the music of "Hairspray", you won't regret adding this to your collection of piano music.
