The Broadway.com staff is crazy for Culturalist, the website that lets you choose and create your own top 10 lists. Every week, we’re challenging you with a new Broadway-themed topic to rank.
Good morning, Baltimore (or wherever you lovely Broadway fans are!). Hairspray started the beat on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre on August 15, 2002, and 14 years later, the big, blonde, and beautiful musical has been adapted for the screen a second time (fun fact: the tuner is based on the 1988 John Waters film of the same name). NBC is going for number three with the super-starry Hairspray Live!, which will air on December 7. As you celebrate Hairspray's anniversary this weekend by boogying down like one of the nicest kids in town, let us know which song from the Tony-winning tuner is your fave! Broadway.com Editorial Assistant Lindsey Sullivan started things off with her top 10! Run and tell us which Hairspray song makes you want to live in the '60s!
