Chicago - Windy City Music Theatre, one of Chicago’s fastest-growing professional theatre companies, will present HAIRSPRAY, with music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman and a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, based on the 1988 John Waters film Hairspray, April 8th-30th in Jefferson Park.

ABOUT THE SHOW: The 1950’s are out and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical piled bouffant high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. 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!

ABOUT OUR MAINSTAGE SHOWS: Our MAINSTAGE Shows are fully-produced, big family musicals performed by professional actors, teens and youth. These two-hour productions are designed to appeal to our “for and by all ages” philosophy. Audiences who have enjoyed past MainStage shows remark that the shows are uplifting, inspiring, and fun for the whole family – not to mention more economical than larger venues. HAIRSPRAY includes auditioned and non-auditioned youth & teen ensemble and supporting characters, training alongside professional adults and performing in the shows.

Directed by Jordan Richardson | Music Direction by Nick Arceo | Choreography by Joseph Kuchey
