A Musical Comedy that blasts stereotypes and racial discrimination into thin air
Music Marc Shaiman; Lyrics Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman
Book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan
Directed by Vanda Eggington
In 1960’s Baltimore, where the 50’s are out and change is in the air, loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on a local TV dance program. She finds herself transformed overnight from outsider to teen celebrity. Can she manage to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love without mussing her hair? “Hairspray… is something of a blessed event, the arrival of that rarest of Broadway babies, a thoroughly solid piece of musical theater.” –The Washington Post | Suitable for ages 6 and older
