Attention All Hairhoppers! November 20 is D-Day!

D-day as in DVD day!

Hairspray, this summer's smash musical hit, is hitting DVD November 20 in a big way with four different versions: a single-disc version, a two-disc "Shake & Shimmy" edition in both standard DVD and Blu-ray, plus a special goodies-packed gift set. (An HD-DVD will be released sometime next year.)

The "Shake & Shimmy" edition will come with one of those funky covers that changes pictures when you tilt it (like the Transamerica DVD), in this case from the teens to the adults, as pictured above.

I hardly ever listen to audio commentaries or watch deleted scenes unless I have to, but in this case, I can't wait to devour everything they give me. In addition to that, the two-discer will include a "making of" doc, featurettes on all the dancing, a sing along option (oh yeah) and, most intriguingly, an all new musical number called "I Can Wait". I have no clue what this song is, but personally, I can't wait to hear it.

The two-disc version is included in the deluxe gift pack, which comes in a mini-metal locker (in either "Link Lime" or "Penny Pink"! Cute! But where's the Tracy Turquoise or Edna Eggplant?) that you can decorate with the stickers and photos included, plus a nifty Hairspray tote bag (Big Edie will like that).

And if that isn't enough Hairspray for you for one day, a special two-disc deluxe edition of the now Certified Gold soundtrack will also be released on November 20th! This limited run CD will include "karaoke versions of Hairspray hits, non-soundtrack songs, never-before-heard outtakes, demo recordings, trading cards and more in a special gift set package!"

So start saving your allowance, Hairhoppers! The DVDs and new CD are not yet available for pre-order on Amazon.com yet, but I'll post the links when they are.

And don't forget to vote for your favorite Hairspray song in the MD Poll! You can find it in the sidebar at right, below my profile.
