Hairspray, the Tony Award-winning musical sensation, features high-energy dance, infectious music, and a powerful message of inclusion and self-acceptance. Set in 1962 Baltimore, the story follows Tracy Turnblad, a big-hearted teen with dreams of dancing on The Corny Collins Show. As she fights for a chance to shine, Tracy challenges outdated norms and pushes for a more inclusive future.
Filled with laughter, love, and larger-than-life characters, Hairspray is a joyous celebration of change and the power of believing in yourself.
