John Travolta seems unlikey to reprise his role as Edna Turnblad in the planned Hairspray 2. He told Australia's Sunday Daily Sun, "I think once is enough. I did it and I did it well but I'm not a big sequel guy."
Playbill pointed out that Travolta did do two sequels, so don't lose hope yet! Adam Shankman is also still for the idea.
"I never thought of musicals as franchises, but it certainly worked with 'High School Musical,' and the idea of working with that cast again, and creating new material and music, is a dream come true. John (Waters) has such an original and extraordinary voice; we all can't wait to see what he has come up with."
