Marc Shaiman is a sweetie

"I went to the Premiere in NYC last night and basically lived a fantasy, I am truly sorry that anyone out there went to the movie last night and had the opposite experience."

No, he's not talking about those who went blind while watching Travolta's shimmy in the fatsuit informed by Tim Allen's body type preferences. He's referring to the hordes of fans who hoped to get into the Hairspray premiere (and had passes for first-come first-serve entry), and were dismayed to find that NONE of them were admitted. Shaiman posted on Broadwayworld's message boards, asking what New Line could do to make it up to the fans. "I don't know if that means a free pass, a DVD extra or a back massage."

Back massage? Only if it comes directly from you, Marc!
