Not to drop a name or anything...oh, hell, I will.
We were fortunate enough to attend the Tony Awards this year [my brother is a Sprint exec, one of the sponsors, and they had a last-minute cancellation], and at the gala afterward, I noticed Mr. Waters standing nearby. My wife is the one who urged me, "When are you ever going to get this chance again?", so I sidled up and had a very nice 5-min conversation with the gracious director. He said, "For HAIRSPRAY, we came here and won everything, but tonight we didn't win anything" [he was referring to unsuccessful Tony musical nominee CRY-BABY] "and winning is better." But the conversation moved beyond his sorrow [probably feigned: "my involvement is just blessing the movie rights"], and he couldn't have been kinder. It was probably my single biggest thrill of the evening. So your boy isn't just a creative icon; he's a mensch too.
Hey, junior detectives: I'm listed somewhere in imDB too. Whooo! Can you find me?
