This past week, Hairspray played host to two special guests, one onstage and one off.

Leslie Goshko, who won the Big Bopper dance contest, made her Broadway debut for one night only at the Neil Simon Theatre. She appeared in a walk-on role in the Tony-winning musical on Feb. 24.

The next day, backstage, Anthony Geary of ABC's "General Hospital," met with the Hairspray team as he prepared for his role as Edna for ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
