Trivia

As for John Travolta playing Edna Turnblad, that goes back to John Waters having often cast 'Divine' in his movies. 'Harris Glenn Milstead' was an actor best known for performing in drag as 'Divine', John Waters cast him as Edna in the 1988 version. When the Broadway musical was being cast, they cast Harvey Fierstein as Edna Turnblad, and started a tradition of casting a man in the role of the mother, so the movie is just keeping that tradition going.

Continuity: At the beginning when Tracy hasn't even been shown yet, you see some people pulling open a window gate, and the window has a new sign and a couple sale signs on it. Later in the film, when Tracy is singing 'Good Morning Baltimore', she passes by the same place. Only this time the window gate is closed again. (She leans up against it and grabs it.)
