More about this title
About the Artist: Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah rose to prominence as a rapper and hip-hop pioneer in the late 1980s, then expanded her artistry across music, film, and television with remarkable versatility. Her 2007 performance as Motormouth Mama in the Hairspray film showcased her ability to command a stage with both vocal power and comedic timing, earning her widespread recognition among musical theater audiences.
Why we love this
This collection gives singers and pianists access to the full Hairspray catalog in one practical book, making it easy to pull any number for recitals, auditions, or classroom performances. The lyrics, melody line, and chord changes are all visible on the same page, so accompanists and singers can work together seamlessly without juggling multiple resources.
What to expect
Hairspray radiates infectious optimism and infectious groove; these numbers pulse with 1960s pop sensibility filtered through a modern lens. You'll find yourself drawn into the charm and humor of each song, from intimate character moments to high-energy ensemble celebrations.
Who it's for
Singers preparing audition material or recital pieces from contemporary musical theater will find immediate value in having all the Hairspray numbers in one location. Pianists supporting young vocalists in rehearsal or performance benefit from the clear chord notation and professionally arranged accompaniments that don't require extra orchestration.
How to get the most out of it
- Study the original film performances to understand the comedic timing and rhythmic feel each number requires; the dialogue-to-song transitions are crucial to nailing the theatrical intent.
- Mark the chord changes clearly before your first run-through, especially in modulating sections where the accompaniment shifts register or key.
- Balance accessibility with character voice: many of these songs work well at a moderate tempo that lets the lyrics land without sacrificing the upbeat '60s energy.
- Work out your page turns in advance so you can stay connected to the singer throughout longer songs without breaking focus.
How to use it
Build a Hairspray-focused recital program by selecting 3-5 contrasting numbers from this collection, or use individual songs as stepping stones in a broader musical theater concert. Choral directors can extract ensemble-friendly titles like 'You Can't Stop the Beat' and 'Welcome to the '60s' for end-of-year celebrations.
Skills your students will build

- Accompanying singers while tracking harmonic movement and style
- Managing theatrical interpretation alongside musical precision
- Navigating modulations and key changes in contemporary musical theater writing
