Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing and against all odds wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show.” Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the show, and find true love without mussing her hair?

Based on the cult classic film by John Waters, Hairspray is the Tony Award-winning, high-energy piece, with richly eccentric comedic characters and infectious music.  It’s also a story about America’s continuing struggle with racial and economic inequities and how the power and courage of young people can truly bring about change.
