It isn't often that Broadway stars reunite. Sure, they may present together at an awards show, or pose at a movie premiere. But rare is the day that they resume the roles they helped make famous, and sing the songs that became synonymous with their particular voices.
You probably know where we are going with this. You probably know we're going to say that that rare day is at hand, and it'll actually be three days -- Aug. 5, 6, and 7 -- and Harvey Fierstein and Marissa Jaret Winokur will be resuming the leads of "Hairspray' at the Hollywood Bowl.
