MHS Drama Club Presents “Hairspray” (Matinee)

A Tony award-winning musical, Hairspray is set in the 1960s and tells the story of Baltimore teenager Tracy Turnblad and her dream to dance on The Corny Collins Show. When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight and launches a campaign to racially integrate the show, thus changing the attitudes of members of her community and beyond. With such memorable songs as “Good Morning Baltimore” and “You Can’t Stop The Beat,” Hairspray is a more than a hit musical; it is truly social commentary on the injustices of the 1960s.
