Marc posted this on Facebook and I can't stop laughing.
Someone's getting sued!
Ew!

Posted: 11/6/09 at 7:05pmIt's Italian. Wasn't there an Italian production of this sometime ago? I remember someone posted a link, and the people playing Motormouth Maybelle (sp?), Seaweed and Inez were painted black. I am assuming this is a separate production?

Posted: 11/6/09 at 7:09pmWhy is Marc filing a lawsuit? This isn't Hairspray. It's CRAP. If it was actually Hairspray, it would be good.

Posted: 11/6/09 at 7:26pmI don't think it's Italian. It sounds like some strange conglomerate of Italian and Spanish. Maybe it's Argentinean or something?

Posted: 11/6/09 at 7:28pmMan, I wish the Broadways show was sill running- there is a lot of 'business' they could drop right into the show. I especially like the kids crossing the stage during "Good Morning Baltimore" ans the last kid getting the door clammed on his face. Good stuff.

Posted: 11/6/09 at 7:45pmI thought it was Italian because they said "Buon Giorno Baltimore."

It is Italian.
It seems to me that it is part of a variety TV show or Hairspray tribute on a singing/talent show.
I don't think they are showing clips from an actual staged production, looks like they just put those numbers together as a one time thing.

Uhh, is that even a language? People in Argentina speak a dialect of Spanish. When did a weird conglomerate of Spanish and Italian become "Argentinean"?

It doesn't matter if it is a parody or full scale production. They translated songs and performed parts of the show without permission on television.

It's definitely Italian. It's possible some slang, or colloquialisms were thrown in there, though at first it sounded a bit like Spanish. The two languages are pretty close to begin with.
There was something hysterically ridiculous about that video though, especially the Tracy fat suit and horribly over-sized hair.

Yes, isn't it obvious?
And I am not saying that in a snarky way to you, but in a "Isn't that stupid?" way.

Posted: 11/6/09 at 8:42pmI LIKED it! They were having a blast and had great energy. And it just goes to show the only way to f up Hairspray is by casting John Travolta!
PEACE.

That was the Argentinean production. I also read something about some of the actors wearing fake noses.

Buddy, I'm from Argentina. I speak Spanish, or as they call it in Argentina; Castellano, which is basically Spanish with a dialect.
Guess what... Alaska is next to Canada, not Mexico. Oh, the bliss of ignorance.

Posted: 11/7/09 at 12:25amLol, sorry if I offended anyone. I (in my poor word choices) meant that the PRODUCTION must be Argentinean and maybe the language is the dialect of Spanish spoken there, since I've heard that the dialect spoken there has Italian influences. The clip just had way too many Spanish and too few Italian words to sound like pure Italian to me.
