Click here to view the embedded video. I missed this wonderful extract from Hairspray when it was shown on Children in Need. It looks like it was a great night and it gives a real flavour of the show. Hairspray starring Michael Ball playing Edna, with Ian Talbot as Wilbur Turnblad, Charlotte Riby as Tracy, Liz Robertson as Velma, Paul Manuel as Corny Collins, Elinor Collett as Penny, Ben James-Ellis as Link and Sandra Marvin as Motormouth Maybelle. This performance was part of the BBC Children in Need Telethon broadcast Live on the 15th November 2008 - on the night over £20,000,000 was raised. You can still donate. As the person who posted it says you can still donate to Children in Need! Hairspray is still going strong in the West End and shows no sign of flagging. One of our clever readers bagged themselves a Hairspray Theatre Break for New Year’s Eve! Now that’s my idea of celebrating New Year in style! The show finishes in nice time to stroll down and see the fireworks, then off back to your hotel to finish celebrating. Perfect.
