I just learned that John Travolta is playing Edna Turnblad, the role made indelibly famous by Divine in the original “Hairspray,” in the remake/movie musical.
I still wonder why this movie needed to be made into a musical, since the original was so driven by music to begin with (dynamite soundtrack, that one).
But hearing this particular piece of casting is really…something.
