It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and big-hearted teen Tracy Turnblad dreams of dancing on “The Corny Collins Show.” When her wish comes true, Tracy becomes an overnight sensation — and uses her newfound fame to challenge the show’s segregationist rules. Bursting with infectious rhythms, colorful characters, and unstoppable joy, Hairspray is an uplifting celebration of self-expression, inclusion, and standing up for what’s right.
Winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical
“Stocked with canny, deliriously tuneful songs… ‘Hairspray’ is as sweet as a show can be without promoting tooth decay.”The New York Times
