<font size="1">added on April 16, 2007, at 08:00 by putrguru</font><br /><br /><table><tr valign="top"><td>The cast recording for the Broadway musical of John Waters's 1988 paean to dance, music, big beautiful women, and integration is a sheer delight. It's wonderfully upbeat all the way through, with a classic feel that's in keeping with the story's setting in the early 1960s. The characters come alive in these songs, from Marissa Jaret Winokur's (Tracy Turnblad) opening lines in "Good Morning Baltimore" to the stunningly upbeat finale, "You Can't Stop the Beat." The music is by Marc Shaiman, whose recent projects include South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, as well as a number of film soundtracks, and his compositions are simultaneously solid and exuberant. Shaiman and Scott Wittman's lyrics brim over with the unreserved passions and primary-color emotions that made the film so successful. Regardless of one's familiarity with the story or the stage production, it's hard to avoid the appeal of this recording; even the less cheerful songs are awash in bright colors, without disrespect for their subjects. --Genevieve Williams</td><td><script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client = "pub-5821412950245701";google_alternate_color = "F5F5FF";google_ad_width = 336;google_ad_height = 280;google_ad_format = "336x280_as";google_ad_type = "text";google_ad_channel = "0725529317";google_color_border = "F5F5FF";google_color_bg = "F5F5FF";google_color_link = "22229C";google_color_text = "000000";google_color_url = "333333";</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="15"><tr align="center"><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/front"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/4/1/418c3b11be461b17750ff647ceb064fd.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/front">front</a></strong><br><font size="1">1048 x 1024 px</font></td><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/back"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/0/c/0c570622edc17720b015109fe5854d6a.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/back">back</a></strong><br><font size="1">1159 x 1024 px</font></td><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/cd"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/f/4/f4fedbf0d1509bd7be07d38f91b0e7b5.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/cd">cd</a></strong><br><font size="1">950 x 950 px</font></td><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/inside"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/c/1/c15f3be58507e8ec2c5e0006d1837d30.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/17707/marc_shaiman_scott_wittman_marissa_jaret_winokur_h airspray_2002_retail_cd/inside">inside</a></strong><br><font size="1">1085 x 1024 px</font></td></tr></table>
