No, it was not a musical. It had music in it, and some of the characters sang, but it was not a musical until they adapted it for Broadway.

Hairspray the musical is really good and I would go everyday if I had the money.
I disagree with you Hairspray is not that good, the songs are to long and it is way too old fashion. I like the concept though.
I agree with the first answer!! Hairspray is an AMAZING show!! The songs are upbeat..the theme is excellent and there is some humor. Definitely worth it, I would also go everyday if I could!!
Somewhat. John Waters based his fictional story on the Integration Of the Buddy Dean Show, a local dance show in 1960's Baltimore. Otherwise no. He made up a story around that event, which didn't end as happily. Buddy Dean was cancelled shortly after integrating. Source: Hairspray commentary track, by John Waters.

No, the musical "Wicked" is neither a true story nor a story based on something that really happened.Specifically, the musical is based on two books: "The Wizard of Oz" by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) and "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954). Neither one of these two books tells a true story or constitutes a story based on real events. The plot and the characters both come from the fertile imaginations of the two respective authors.
The book is based on a true story.
No, Candyman is not based on a true story. It's based on Clive Barker's short story, "The Forbidden."
