HAIRSPRAY takes place in racially segregated 1962 Baltimore. It tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a teenager with a big heart, a big hairdo and a figure to match. Tracy dreams of dancing in "The Corny Collins Show" - a local teen dance show a la "American Bandstand". Tracy befriends Seaweed J. Stubbs, a dancer in the monthly "Negro Day" on the show, and they work together to break through the biases concerning both race and physical appearance. Along the way they find love in the most unexpected places. HAIRSPRAY boasts a rousing 60's inspired score, terrific dancing and an uplifting message about accepting people for who they are. This show is not to be missed!
