review of hairspray
I think this is a very good musical as it shows how black people were discriminated against and how someone sticks up for them. It proves that a small group of determined people can change the world for the better. It shows you that you can do anything if you put your mind to it(i know its cheesy deal with it). It also shows that you should never let people control you, you are your own person! you have just as much right as everyone else!
