Hairspray Tour -0001

Ages: 12+
Closing: April 25, 2010

Hairspray - 2010 US Tour History , Info & More


It's 1962, and pleasantly plump Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire - to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star, but she must use her newfound power to vanquish the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network - all without denting her 'do!

Don't miss HAIRSPRAY, Broadway�s musical-comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture and won eight 2003 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. As The New York Times says, �If life were everything it should be, it would be more like HAIRSPRAY. It�s irresistible!�
