Waters' 'Filthy World'
By Colin Covert, Star Tribune
Last update: November 02, 2007 – 5:49 PM
Known at the beginning of his career as "The King of Sleaze,"The Prince of Puke" and "The Pope of Trash," provocative indie filmmaker John Waters has wormed his way into America's heart. His film "Hairspray" was reworked as a Broadway hit and this summer was adapted into a popular mainstream musical starring John Travolta in drag. Another musical, based on his ode to juvenile delinquency, "Cry-Baby," is about to open in tryouts. Waters brings his one-man show "This Filthy World" to St. Paul on Saturday. He'll discuss his career and obsessions, and might take questions from audience members, if they can get a word in edgewise.
