I'm sure full tour dates will be announced soon. Love Hairspray so will definitely visit again, saw it twice on the most recent tour.
Cast were fab! Claire, Tony and Brenda were standouts for me but also Lauren Stroud was great as Amber!! Looking forward to seeing who they cast this time.

I love this show and I'm glad it's touring again, just a shame it's this production.

Ah that's a shame. Surprised it isn't going to Wimbledon it Woking but I presume more venues will be added. Guildford is relatively near London. Also they will probably add in a date over Christmas, maybe Brighton? |

Interesting if this is the same tour how it's now going into the Millenium Centre in Cardiff when it was only in the New Theatre before. I'm no expert but I'd say WMC is nearly twice the size - either WMC will swallow it up or it was really cramped in the New Theatre...
I remember watching the first tour with Michael Ball in WMC and loved it almost as much as London... didn't fancy the last tour as don't like the New Theatre but will definitely get along to see this.
Also personally I'm not sure there will ever be a better Tracy than Leanne Jones!

I think this will be a good tour, glad it's on the road again.
I wonder why most tours don't announce the full tour dates straight away?

Multiple reasons - later venues may not have contracts confirmed at the same time as early venues, if there's venues close together i.e. Birmingham and Wolves, Salford and Manchester, they may not want to push customers to one date or the other, in the hope that they book Venue A first and enjoy the show, then when Venue B is announced, book there too. |

Also they will probably add in a date over Christmas, maybe Brighton? It isn't going anywhere inside the M25 this time. Whether that means they may be looking at a return to London, I don't know. |

Oh isn't it? Sad  I wonder if it will go to Woking as lots of big musicals go there. It's going to Guildford which is probably the nearest not to London. Wonder if it might go to Brighton too? However on Pocketsize they've got dates up to May 2018 so maybe that's all the dates they're doing this time |

I don't think they went through with it in the end Nothing has been said either way I've heard it isn't going back to the west end from a reliable source. Presume that is the reason it is touring again and the fact it is such a well loved show Heard that few months ago. |

So who do people think will be chosen as Velma? I ask because I honestly thought it could of been Samantha Womack but now she's in Addams Family

I'm so glad this is coming to Belfast I know it's not a great replica production like the previous but I do like seeing different designs.

Thinking about it Olivier Award Winner Rachel Leskovac would be a BRILLIANT Velma. She is amazing in Hollyoaks currently and because she plays a marvellous villain in that, she would NAIL Velma!! Would like to see that happen

Open auditions for Tracy Turnblad. Wonder what they're filming? Unless it's just for Promo but rare to have the audition stage filmed.  |

The call went out as you posted it? Including the green underlined grammar errors AND the green underlining?
Very amateurish.

It appeared on my timeline from this person so no idea if it was posted elsewhere in that format or just to his facebook friends. |
