Teenage newcomer, Nikki Blonsky, won the celebrity lottery and landed the lead role of Tracy Turnblad, a Baltimore high school student who is obsessed with becoming one of the dancers on the local Corny Collins Show and stealing the heart of the lead dancer, Link Larkin (Zac Efron). Tracys mother, Edna Turnblad, played frighteningly well in drag by John Travolta, is worried that Tracy will get hurt. This role has traditionally been played in drag going back to the 1988 feature with the famous transvestite, Divine. Christopher Walken is great as Tracys dad, who supports her dream. Look for a funny cameo by original writer, John Waters as a neighborhood flasher and also a cameo of Ricki Lake (Originial Tracy) as a Talent Agent. Michelle Pfeifer and Brittany Snow star as the nasty mother daughter team of Velma and Amber Von Tussle who are determined to prevent any changes to lily white, homogenous look of the show. Queen Latifah and Elijah Kelleys characters of Motormouth Maybelle and Seaweed join up with Tracy to fight for the rights of all.
