Tracy Turnblad is obsessed with The Corny Collins Show and one of its dancers, Link Larkin. Though rejected by producer Belma Vom Tussle at auditions, when Tracey shows off some moves at the Sophomore Hop, Corny Collins gives her a place on the show. Tracey is soon launched to stardom, but can't stand that the show won't allow integration and does everything in her power to make it happen.
Hairspray, the book is by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman and the music is by Marc Shaiman.
