Welcome to the ’60s! It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and Tracy Turnblad has a big heart, even bigger hair, and one big dream: to dance on The Corny Collins Show. When her once-in-a-lifetime shot turns into a chance to stand up for what’s right, Tracy becomes an unlikely heroine on a mission to integrate the airwaves and bring people together—with plenty of rhythm, soul, and style. Packed with infectious songs and outrageous fun, Hairspray is a celebration of self-love, social change, and the power of dance to shake things up.
Book by Thomas Meehan & Mark O’Donnell
Music by Marc Shaiman
Lyrics by Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
Based on the New Line Cinema film, written and directed by John Waters
