You can hardly swing a cat in Nashville without hitting someone in costume as Edna Turnblad or her dancing progeny Tracy, so popular has the show become with local theaterati. But, truth be told, if I never live to see another Hairspray, I can now die a happy man: Because I saw director/choreographer Justin Boccitto's exceptional, extraordinary and exhilarating take on the show, starring a phenomenal cast of Lipscomb University theatre students who so brilliantly bring the now-iconic characters of 1962 Baltimore to life with thorough commitment and so much energy you can't help but leave the theater with a spring in your step and a song in your heart.
Even before they hit the stage for Lipscomb University Theatre's production of Hairspray, it's pretty clear that cast members Renna Taylor, Nicolette Carney, Justin Boyd, Darius Cal and Carolanne Deaton truly are 'the nicest kids in town.' Bringing the hit musical to life for Nashville audiences, which will include a large contingent of alumni in town for homecoming (Hairspray runs November 3-6 in Collins Auditorium on the David Lipscomb University campus), the large ensemble of more than 40 actors are hard at work, sharpening their skills, running lines, rehearsing like it's nobody's business and immersing themselves in plenty of 1960s pop culture and nostalgia.
The original Jersey Boy Frankie Valli will headline a one-night-only concert for his first-time-ever appearance at the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines on Friday, Oct. 28, 2011. With his three-and-a-half-octave vocal range, over 100 million records sold and a multi-decade career, iconic Frankie Valli, along with his The Four Seasons, demonstrate why they are still the hottest ticket in town with a catalog of hits like: 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You,' 'Big Girls Don't Cry,' 'Rag Doll,' 'Grease,' 'Dawn,' 'Let's Hang On,' 'Sherry,' 'December 1963 (Oh What a Night)' and so many more.
Without a doubt - and even before they take to the stage in Lipscomb University Theatre's production of Hairspray - it's pretty clear that the production's cast members are truly 'the nicest kids in town.'

And their spirit and energy is palpable!
Hairspray, Broadway's musical-comedy phenomenon with so much heart and soul that it also inspired a major motion picture. A joyous tribute to the ‘60's, this intelligent and hilarious musical has the most fun Broadway score in recent years. 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 new found power to vanquish the reigning teen queen, win the affections of her heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network - all without denting her ‘do!
It's time to let your hair down and dance the night away as Hairspray, Broadway's musical comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture, opens at the Miracle Theatre on October 14.
