The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, inspired the blockbuster film starring John Travolta, and is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs!
It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the loveable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show”. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV Network…all without denting her ‘do!
You can’t stop the beat in this big and bold musical about one girl’s inspiring dream to dance and change the world!
Rated PG and runs from June 20 – August 10
