On May 17th, the Palm West Restaurant (250 W. 50th St.) hosted a private cast party for the Broadway cast of Hairspray.  In attendance were John Waters, the director of the original Hairspray film, and "Leave it to Beaver" star Jerry Mathers, who steps into the role of Wilbur Turnblad on June 5th.

The Tony Award-winning Hairspray, running at the Neil Simon Theatre, is based on the New Line Cinema film written and directed by Waters.  It features a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, and a score by five-time Academy Award nominee Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

Hairspray currently stars Shannon Durig as Tracy, Ashley Parker Angel as Link, Alexa Vega as Penny, Paul Vogt as Edna, Jere Burns as Wilbur, Tevin Campbell as Seaweed, Darlene Love as Motormouth Maybelle, Brynn O'Malley as Amber, Isabel Keating as Velma and Susan Mosher as Prudy Pingleton.  A film version, starring John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah and others, opens in theaters in July.
