"Hairspray" in the Southern-most place in the world

He and his wife were driving through Baltimore yesterday, stopped for lunch, and on a whim searched for "Hairspray" on line and found my name and phone number.  I do a "Hairspray" tour in Baltimore, (among dozens of other fabulous forays in the city.)  

Half an hour after his call, I met him at Sip n Bite and learned that he is from Gore, New Zealand. He and his wife are spending 6 weeks in the states visiting their son and daughter-in-law who live in PA.  Back home in New Zealand, he is part of a little theater group and will play the part of Edna, the mother of Tracey Turnblad, in John Waters' movie and stage play.  He is not an actor by profession but rather a builder, and acts for fun. He invited me to come to NZ in August 2015 and attend the performance for what will be the Southern-most performance of the play. 

Back in the 1980's when I was deep in research on local history, I could not have forseen that I would spend a couple hours with a man from New Zealand who is playing a woman in John Waters' story: "Hairspray."       Zippy
