HAIRSPRAY Begins Performances At The Fulton Theatre This April
Leading the cast as the irrepressible Tracy Turnblad is Eden Franco.
The Fulton Theatre will bring the Tony-winning hit "Hairspray" to the Mainstage from April 10 through May 3, 2026, with preview performances on April 8 (Community Night) and 9 (Pay-What-You-Want).
Set in 1960s Baltimore, this smash-hit musical tells the story of spirited teen Tracy Turnblad, whose dream of dancing on The Corny Collins Show leads her on a journey to challenge the status quo and advocate for racial integration. Piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and infectious songs like "Good Morning Baltimore" and "You Can't Stop the Beat," this eight-time Tony Award-winning musical is a celebration of diversity, unity, and the power of change.
Leading the cast as the irrepressible Tracy Turnblad is Eden Franco, joined by Robert Anthony Jones as her mother, Edna Turnblad, and Joel Newsome as her father, Wilbur Turnblad. The production also stars Trevor Wayne as heartthrob Link Larkin, Dan DeLuca as the host Corny Collins, and Tarra Conner Jones as the powerhouse Motormouth Maybelle.

Stubbs, Amy Bodnar as Velma Von Tussle, Tori Paige Heinlein as Amber Von Tussle, Eileen Ray Brady as Penny Pingleton, Mikayla White as Little Inez, Charis Leos as Prudy Pingleton/Gym Teacher/Matron, Kevin Ivey Morrison as Gilbert (also serving as Dance Captain)
