Hairspray - Cruise Holmes Surprise Hairspray Cast
The cast of Broadway musical HAIRSPRAY got a big surprise after they finished last Friday's (04May08) show - walking off stage to find TOM CRUISE and his wife KATIE HOLMES waiting in the wings.
The Hollywood couple attended the stage version of the hit show with their two-year-old daughter Suri and were granted a backstage visit afterwards to meet the actors.
But the cast had not been informed of the stars' visit and were shocked to be greeted by the family after the performance.
Jenifer Lewis, who plays Motormouth Maybelle in the hit show, was delighted to meet Cruise and Holmes.
She tells New York Daily News, ""I turned, and there was Tom Cruise saying to me, 'Oh my God, you're wonderful!'
"Suri was so sweet in her little velvet and taffeta dress."
Cruise later sent the whole cast flowers and a large basket of candy in time for their next performance.

Motley Crue - Tommy Lee Gets Animated
MOTLEY CRUE star TOMMY LEE is to lend his voice to a new cartoon - based on his life story.
The rocker has signed up to take part in the making of The Life and Times of Jimmy Jaxx, which will be produced by the team behind the 2007 film Blades of Glory.
The Fox TV show is currently under development but is said to follow a rocker who tries to balance his experiences in a band with his calmer home life - but is constantly distracted by his tattoos which come to life and attempt to lead him astray.
Lee tells Blabbermouth.net, "I've always loved the animated world. How fun and kooky is this gonna be, to combine some real-life experiences with some seriously over-the-top humour."

Madonna - Madonna Stunned By Sexual Cleansing Ritual
Pop superstar MADONNA was left shocked and appalled by a bizarre sex ritual which young widows in Malawi have to go through after their husbands die - because it fuels the spread of Aids in the country.
In her new documentary I Am Because We Are, Madonna chronicles the plight of the people in the African nation, where she adopted her son David in 2006, and she admits some local customs left her feeling sick.
In one segment of the harrowing new film, the star reveals a young widow is forced to have sex three times with a stranger from outside her village as part of a cleansing ritual.
She says, "When this woman's husband dies of Aids, she is required by the village head tribal chief to go through this sexual cleansing.
"Until she does, basically the village is, like, at a standstill. And, if she refuses to do it, she will be ostracised by everyone."
