The creative team modified several songs from the Original Broadway production, removed others, and added some new songs. "Mama, Im a Big Girl Now", a number performed in the stage musical by Tracy, Penny, and Amber opposite their respective mothers, was reluctantly cut from the script during pre-production - but was sung over the credits by all three "original" Tracys (
Ricki Lake
,
Marissa Jaret Winokur
, and
Nikki Blonsky
). While the crew liked the song, screenwriter
Leslie Dixon
felt the number did not adequately advance the plot, and would also be impossible to film without a three-way split screen, which neither she nor director
Adam Shankman
wanted to use. "It Takes Two", sung in the stage musical by Link to Tracy during her first day on "The Corny Collins Show", was moved to an earlier scene in the film; Link sings it just before Tracy learns that the TV station will be holding auditions for a new Council Member. However, only the songs coda remains in the final release. "Cooties", performed by Amber at the climactic "Miss Teenage Hairspray" pageant in the stage musical, is an instrumental during the pageant contestants dance-off. "Mama" and "It Takes Two" are also instrumentals during scenes featuring broadcasts of "The Corny Collins Show". A reprise of "Big, Blond, and Beautiful", sung by Velma and Edna, was added to the film as part of a new subplot involving Velma Von Tussles attempt to seduce Tracys father Wilbur. "I Can Wait", a climactic ballad written for the film, was to have been performed by Tracy as she is hiding out in Pennys basement. The sequence was cut from the final release print. "The New Girl in Town" was written for the stage musical, dropped during the workshopping stage, resurrected, and used in this film to underscore Tracys rise-to-fame montage, and to show "The Corny Collins Show" on Negro Day. "Ladies Choice", performed by Link at a school dance, was added to replace "The Madison", a dance number carried over into the stage musical from
Hairspray
. "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" was written for the film for use during the closing credits.
c.

William H. OBrien
and
William J. OBrien
appear in this film (uncredited) as reporters.
