July 14th, 2007

If you’re passing by the windows of the Ann Taylor LOFT Flagship store, located at the corners of 42nd Street and Broadway in Manhattan’s Times Square, check out the latest window display!

Eleven (11) costumes featured in the upcoming movie musical “Hairspray” are now on display, along with various movie props and images… not to mention tons of hairspray cans! The display will be available for viewing until July 22.

Apparently the display itself is one one-of-a-kind installation, according to Playbill. Costumes include Motormouth Maybelle’s gold lamé dress with red feather trim, worn by Queen Latifah, and Edna Turnblad and Tracy Turnblad’s matching sleeveless pink sequined dresses, worn by John Travolta and Nikki Blonsky.

The cast includes Queen Latifah as Motormouth Maybelle, John Travolta as Edna Turnblad, Christopher Walken as Wilbur Turnblad, Amanda Bynes as Penny Pingleton, Zac Efron as Link Larkin, Brittany Snow as Amber von Tussel, Michelle Pfeiffer as Velma von Tussel, James Marsden as Corny Collins, Elijah Kelly as Seaweed, Allison Janney as Prudy Pingleton, and Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad.

The Broadway musical and forthcoming musical version of the film are both based on the 1988 John Waters movie. The musical film hits theatres nationwide on July 20.
