About the Show

You can't stop the beat in this big and bold musical about one girl's inspiring dream to dance. It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable 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!

Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs.

Hairspray is presented through special arrangements with Music Theatre International (MTI).
