Photo Flash: First Look at Kat Ramsburg, Cynthia Jones, Jinkx Monsoon and More in 5th Avenue's HAIRSPRAY IN CONCERT
The 5th Avenue Theatre presents Hairspray in Concert, featuring some of Seattle's favorite musical theatre stars and the powerful voices of the 250-member Seattle Men's Chorus. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hairspray's 2002 Broadway debut, this unique concert event will play for six very special performances of glorious and irreverent John Waters-inspired wackiness (Friday-Sunday, June 20-23). BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production photos below!
The cast includes Kat Ramsburg and Eric Polani Jensen as Tracy and Edna Turnblad, along with Allen Fitzpatrick, Louis Hobson, Cynthia Jones, and a host of additional Seattle stars. Also making a star turn is Jerick Hoffer as the evil Velma Von Tussle. Best known as his drag persona, Jinkx Monsoon, Hoffer is the winner of Season Five of RuPaul's Drag Race and a critically acclaimed stage performer who was seen in The 5th's production of RENT last season. Seattle Men's Chorus' acclaimed vocal ensemble Captain Smartypants collectively perform a host of featured roles.
