This movie is indeed a remake of the 1988 John Waters film of the same name. Not only that, this film is based on the Broadway play, which was based on the 1988 film. The 1988 film was not a musical, but later made one when the play was created. All three versions are similar, but each has several elements of plot and character unique to each version. This is similar to The Producers, which was a 1968 comedy film that was adapted to a Broadway musical which was subsequently adapted to a musical film in 2005.

Yes, with the exception of two of the Dynamites.

Miss Baltimore Crabs is a play on the Miss Georgia Peach pageant. Georgia is famous for its peaches, just as New York is for its Apples and Florida with its Oranges.

Many claim it's another council member, however, in the DVD Commentary with Adam Shankman and Nikki Blonsky (2-disc set only), Shankman claimed they were implying Corny Collins was the father to the baby. In the film when Velma is talking to the camera man after "The Nicest Kids In Town," you can see Brenda and Corny fighting in the backround while Brenda clutches her stomach. In an interview given by Cassie Silva (Brenda), she admits that Corny Collins is the father of the baby.

Teen dance TV shows were popular in the 1950s and '60s, and many faced similar disputes and controversy over the appearance of Black teens, interracial dancing, racism and segregation. The Corny Collins Show is based on The Buddy Deane Show (1957), which was all-White except on alternate Fridays, which were "Negro day". The core dancers, who appeared every day (except on all-Black days) were called the "Committee". It was cancelled in 1964 after the home station WJZ was unable to integrate Black and Caucasian dancers.
