Hairspray Alums Reunite to Pay Respects at Memorial Service for Tony-Winning Author Mark O'Donnell

The theatrical community turned out in force on November 12 to pay tribute to Hairspray co-author Mark O’Donnell, who died on August 6 at age 58. The Tony-winning librettist was honored at a memorial service held at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, which included eulogies and musical performances. Among the mourners were a huge group of Hairspray alums, including Tony winners Marissa Jaret Winokur and Harvey Fierstein, plus Kerry Butler, Dick Latessa, Caissie Levy and more. Broadway.com corralled the stars for a group photo in a fitting tribute to Mark O'Donnell, a much-loved and very funny Broadway pro.
