Line 11:
* [[Cut Song]]: "The New Girl in Town" was cut from the stage musical, but put into the 2007 film. Some songs from the stage version were cut from the film, too.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Amanda Bynes ate so many lollipops during filming there were some genuine concerns she might lose her teeth. Rumors place it at around ''40 a day''. John Travolta's fat suit couldn't have been all that pleasant either.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Amongst the cast, "You Can't Stop the Beat", due to the intense dancing and fast pace, garnered the nickname "You Can't Stop Toto ''Breathe''". Queen Latifah, being a rapper, was the only one who had no trouble singing the song.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: In the Broadway version, [[Glee|Will Schuester]] plays Link.
* [[Production Posse]]: NBC reunited at least four people behind their critically-acclaimed ''[[The Wiz]]'' telecast to adapt ''Hairspray'' for television: Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (who produce all of the musicals NBC airs during [[The New Tens]], and also did the same for the 2007 ''Hairspray'' movie), director Kenny Leon (who collaborated with Zadan and Meron three times before ''Hairspray''), and scriptwriter Harvey Fierstein.
* [[Recursive Adaptation]]: From movie to Broadway musical and back again.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: James Marsden beat out his X-Men co-star [[Hugh Jackman]] and [[N Sync|Joey McIntyre]] for the part of Corny Collins.
