John Waters to Apply Another Blast of ‘Hairspray

Variety are reporting that John Waters has been hired to write a sequel to Hairspray.

The trade says helmer Adam Shankman will return to direct a second outing.

Shankman told Variety: “I never thought of musicals as franchises, but it certainly worked with High School Musical, and the idea of working with that cast again, and creating new material and music, is a dream come true.

He added:

“John (Waters) has such an original and extraordinary voice; we all can’t wait to see what he has come up with.”

Waters directed the original 1988 movie. Since then the film has been turned into a massive stage show musical with current productions based in both New York and London.
