The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, 4990 Glenway Avenue announces the Cincinnati Young People's Theatre's 34th annual summer musical - Hairspray running Wednesday, July 22 through Sunday, August 2, 2015!

The Show: It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size 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. 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!

Based upon the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters. Book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, Music By Marc Shaiman, Lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman

Tim Perrino, Director; Steve Goers, Music Director; Maggie Perrino, Choreographer; Aimee Ward, Production Stage Manager; Adam Hambrick, Asst. Stage Manager
