The party's over! Hairspray reunion concert Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now!—featuring original cast members Laura Bell Bundy, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and Kerry Butler—completes its extended Off-Broadway run December 21 at New World Stages. The show opened November 13 after beginning previews November 2, and was initially scheduled to complete its run December 8. Read the reviews here.

Bundy, Winokur, and Butler created the roles of Amber Von Tussle, Tracy Turnblad, and Penny Pingleton (respectively) in Best Musical winner Hairspray. Since then, all three have become fixtures of the stage and screen, starring in such titles as Beetlejuice, Mean Girls, Legally Blonde, and more. In their new show, the trio covers songs from Hairspray along with new mashups and medleys, parodies, and more in "a night filled with all the sparkle and joy of a Broadway musical," according to press notes.

The show is directed and written by Bundy, Winokur, and Butler and features music direction by Andrew Byrne.

Lisa Dozier Shacket is producing.

Hairspray, based on the John Waters movie, debuted on Broadway in 2002, featuring a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, and a score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. The show won eight 2003 Tony Awards, including wins for Winokur and Harvey Fierstein, who created the role of Edna Turnblad. Since Broadway success, the title has become a favorite among theatre fans and is frequently produced at theatres worldwide. A movie adaptation hit theatres in 2007, and a live TV broadcast aired in 2016.
