I don't know if I'll see it, but dammit I'm tempted for the reasons in the title.

Christopher Walken? Ok, that's awesome...

...tranny John Travolta? Are you serious? Well, shit.

And that girl from the All That! show?

Oh, and Queen Latifa.

I don't even know what this musical/movie is about. And I go to musicals for entertainment!

And it comes out next Friday.

    Trannies were up in arms about them casting Travolta the scientologist, and not an actual transgender, for the role of the mother

    Is there a reason from the musical why they chose to trannify Travolta rather than use a woman?

    I mean, we're one step closer to Shakespearean times where men are cast as every part!

    Christopher Walken is probably going to be the only "big name" in the whole movie who can dance and sing worth a damn.

    Drano's a dick. Not much to say there.

    But Travolta is it Travolta that leads the march for racial equality? (he's the only fat chick I see so far)

    He's great at playing Christopher Walken though.

    Fortunately for him, people love him so much that they don't mind him playing himself every chance a movie gives him.

    Then I saw Chicago and I liked that a lot.

    I love some Catherine Zeta.

    And Avenue Q. That's a great movie to see in person, but I hear they changed the cast recently :<

    I'm not all that familiar with it but if I remember correctly the mother in Hairspray is traditionally played by a man in drag

    I have only heard the Avenue Q soundtrack, but man I'd love to see it live sometime.

    I went to a performance of one of the tours of Lion King, and even though we were in really far away crappy seats it was still really awesome.
