It’s been awhile since score fans have heard from Marc Shaiman, but with the Tony-winning musical Hairspray in theatres this weekend, Shaiman is appearing in the press to promote the film (and far be it from me to not join in with everyone else shilling the picture).

Yahoo! Movies has a short featurette on the music from the film, New York Magazine has a bit about Marc coming to the rescue of fans shut out of a screening of the film, and Broadway.com has a piece written by Shaiman on the process of bringing Hairspray to the big screen. Next up for Marc is Rob Reiner’s The Bucket List, a comedy starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
