The Story
“Incredibly entertaining…intelligent, warm and joyous musical comedy of the type that Broadway should never be without.” —The New York Times
It's 1962, and pleasantly plump Baltimore teen 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, but she must use her newfound power to vanquish the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network—all without denting her 'do!
Don't miss Hairspray, Broadway’s musical-comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture and won eight 2003 Tony Awards®, including Best Musical. As The New York Times says, “If life were everything it should be, it would be more like Hairspray. It’s irresistible!”
Hairspray is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
