Video Interview with Tony Award Winner Marissa Jaret Winokur: Hairspray Meets Exorcistic: The Rock Musical
Oct 04, 2023It has been 20 years since I've seen Tony Award Winner Marissa Jaret Winokur, who won the coveted award for her starring turn in Broadway's Hairspray.
I met Marissa at the stage door after a matinee performance in 2003.
My parents even waited with me to meet the cast & serve as my photographer.
Now, Marissa is coming back to NYC as a guest star in HRS Productions and Orgasmico Theatre's production of Michael Shaw's Exorcistic: The Rock Musical, an unauthorized parody of The Exorcist.
In this interview, Marissa answered my call to reveal:
- What made her want to be a guest star in the show
- Her Halloween Traditions
- Working with two-time Tony Award Winner Sutton Foster
- Hairspray Memories
- So much more

Exorcistic: The Rock Musical is a parody within a parody. The audience watches a struggling theater company make their way to Broadway by the second act, however, their lead, Emma Hunton has taken Method Acting a step too far and is replaced with a Broadway star. This role is a rotating rolodex of stars which you do not want to miss because it changes every night!
Exorcistic: The Rock Musical will be possessing New York City from October 8-23, 2023 at The Box (189 Chrystie Street).
