A Life Post-Hairspray

All good things must come to an end, but that doesn’t mean that more good things aren’t on the horizon for the cast of Hairspray. From New York to Florida not to mention the season here at Signature, you can find them all over the East Coast! Then again, if you’re in need of a pick-me-up in a few months, we might be able to rein them in for a Hairspray reunion concert. Any takers?

Reunion or not, the cast gave us a peak at what they’re post-Hairspray life will look like:

“Brother Russia at Signature!  We start rehearsals during the last week of Hairspray.  WHEW!  Nothing like jumping right in!” – Erin Gardiner (Amber Von Tussle)

“Auditioning my life away and crossing fingers!” – Kirstin Riegler (Brenda)

“A week in NY doing a reading of Who's Your Baghdaddy? at Joe's Pub. Then back here for Xanadu” – Harry Winter (Wilbur Turnblad)

Up in New York? Check it out on on February 9th at 9:30...

“My answer:  '?' (that's a big ole question mark, lol)” – Carolyn Cole (Tracy Turnblad)

“Trading in my saddle shoes for roller skates! XanaduI!” – Jamie Eacker (Tammy)

 “....a long, studied meditation on what will really be next in my life...” – Robert Aubry Davis (Edna Turnblad)

“I'll be going down to Jacksonville, Florida to do Hello, Dolly starring Sally Struthers!! Hello sunshine and beach days!” – Nick Hovsepian

“I'm retiring. I started saving really early so I'm good :)” – Patrick Cragin

“Back to the grind in the concrete jungle: babysitting, yoga, and hoping someone can spare a production contract (or a contract of any sorts, really) ....it's a hard knock life for Ms. Knox!” – Brandi Knox (Lorraine/Dynamite)

“Rest and recuperation until the summer.  Next up, Little Shop of Horrors at Olney Theatre.” – Kara Tameika Watkins (Shayna/Dynamite)

“On to Brother Russia here, and looking forward to mastering the art of wearing high heels! Then to the Kennedy Center for a workshop of James and the Giant Peach!” - Stephen Gregory Smith (Corny Collins)
