HAIRSPRAY, a co-production of the White Theatre and the Black Repertory Theatre of Kansas City, is the kind of old-fashioned, joyous, musical theater experience that recalls a PAJAMA GAME, or a DAMN YANKEES, kind of show that is just pure entertainment.  Additionally, HAIRSPRAY has a point to make and a super cast with which to make it.

Østjyderne elsker Silas Holst! Fra det øjeblik, han træder på scenen, fyldes salen med klapsalver og jubel, som jeg kun har set lige ved Stig Rossen-koncerter.
