HAIRSPRAY
Don't miss the chance to participate in this Tony Award winning musical that has danced its way into the hearts of audiences for decades! "It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size 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. She must use her new-found power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin, and tackle racial inequality in a TV network, all without denting her 'do!" Book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, based on the New Line Cinema film written by John Waters.
