Hairspray, the energetic musical based on John Waters' 1988 film, brings a hefty dose of fun and social commentary to the stage. Set in 1962 Baltimore, the story revolves around Tracy Turnblad, a plus-size teen with an infectious passion for dance. When she lands a spot on the popular Corny Collins Show, Tracy becomes an overnight star and uses her newfound fame to advocate for racial integration on the program. Hairspray's infectious 1960s-style dance music blends seamlessly with "downtown" rhythm and blues, creating a vibrant and energetic score. The show's catchy tunes like "You Can't Stop the Beat" and "Welcome to the 60s" have become enduring favorites. Hairspray isn't just about catchy music and dazzling dance numbers, though. It tackles themes of discrimination and acceptance with humor and heart, earning a Tony Award for Best Musical and captivating audiences worldwide.
