Posted: 8/29/06 at 12:05amI'd say anyone but Haylie Duff, and Zac Efron.

Posted: 8/29/06 at 12:08amAgh, I don't like this to become a Zac Efron bashing thread. He's actually pretty good. There are some improvements he could make, which will probably be made in the filming/rehearsal process of the Hairspray movie, I'm sure.
What the puck?!

I thought the OBC was pretty fantastic, but there are others I have come to prefer over their original cast counterparts ...
Tracy: Keala Settle
Penny: Lindsay Chambers
Edna: Harvey Firestein
Wilbur: Dick Lateresa
Link Larkin: Matthew Morrison
Amber: Laura Bell Bundy
Velma: Leah Hocking
Motormouth: Mary Bond Davis (Darlene Love a *very* close second)
Seaweed: Alan Mingo, Jr.
Corney Collins: Clark Thorell
Prudy: Jackie Hoffmann OR Jane Blass (cannot decide)

"Tracy: Keala Settle"
Never in 1, 000, 000 years!
And I only put in Bianca Ryan because I forgot what the 14-yr-old black girl on America's Got Talent's name was.
Norbert could when he's older, but for now, Bobby Badfingers!

Am I missing the point in this?
The movie is already cast, and by the looks of these posts, none of you are casting agents, and probably would never be by your choices.
Just sit back and see what they do with the film.
And AshleyBrownFan, don't ever knock Keala, she has more talent in her pinky than most folks.
