Smash hit musical Hairspray has returned to Manchester's Opera House for an extended two week run and, yesterday, some of the cast enjoyed a '60s themed afternoon at All Star Lanes.

Setting a musical in 1960s Baltimore against a backdrop of increasing racial tension between white and black American's doesn't exactly scream feelgood musical. Yet Hairspray manages to achieve a rare thing- a musical with all the schmaltz you could want but with just enough of a message stop you forgetting it.

With the phenomenal success of the recent UK, Hairspray is back on the road touring the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland. Starring ITV comedy legend, Norman Pace, the production opened on 16th August to incredible public and critical acclaim and will go on to tour over 30 more venues across until June 2018.

Due to phenomenal public demand, Hairspray has today announced it will continue to tour the UK into August of next year.

It's Baltimore, 1962 where Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, is on a mission to follow her dreams and dance her way onto national TV. Tracy's audition makes her a local star and soon she is using her new-found fame to fight for equality, bagging local heartthrob Link Larkin along the way!
