Prestige car dealership SYTNER linked up with Entertainment Film Distributors and top UK celebrity booking companies UPFRONT TV and CELEBRITIES WORLDWIDE to deliver a glittering array of stars to the world premiere of John Travolta's eagerly awaited new movie "HAIRSPRAY" in London's Leicester Square on Thursday 5th July 2007.
Enjoying the comfort and style of the new LEXUS LS460 cars were celebrity passengers including Lacy Turner, also known as Stacey Slater in EastEnders, BBC Breakfast presenter Dermot Murnaghan, Katie Hopkins, outspoken runner up in the Apprentice (BBC TV) and pop star Michelle Heaton of Liberty X.
Other Celebrities gracing the red carpet included hot Hollywood heart-throb Zac Efron who stars as Link Larkin in “HAIRSPRAY” having won an army of teenage fans through “High School Musical”, Amanda Bynes (“She The Man”) Graham Norton, Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and Andy Sirkis (aka Gollum in the “Lord of the Rings” Trilogy)
As they rolled up into London’s packed Leicester Square, the sleek blacked out Lexus vehicles drew plenty of admiring glances from the thousands of screaming fans gathered in the rain outside the Odeon West End Cinema, all hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars.
After the movie, Sytner’s drivers were on hand to whisk Celebrities from the cinema in Leicester Square to a spectacular, themed after-party at the Studio Valbonne Club.
Sixteen years after the release of the original film, New Line Cinema brings a feature film adaptation of the Tony award-winning Broadway production to life.
Featuring new and original material based on John Waters' 1988 classic about star-struck teenagers on a local dance show, the comedy features a remarkable collection of upcoming and legendary talent including Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, and stunning newcomer Nikki Blonsky who stars as larger-than-life Tracy Turnblad opposite John Travolta playing Tracy’s mum !
