A giddy, irreverent, uplifting, lovable hoot of a musical! A runaway smash on Broadway, Hairspray cleaned up at the 2003 Tonys, capturing eight awards, including the coveted statuette for best musical. With a gleeful, bubbly score rich in the sounds of 60’s pop and Motown, Hairspray tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a chubby, eternally optimistic big-haired girl who defies the odds at every turn, earning a coveted spot on the Corny Collins dance show, winning the affections of a beyond-popular hunk, besting a gorgeous but snotty rival, and even managing to integrate Corny’s lily-white show. As The New York Times puts it, “if life were everything it should be, it would be more like Hairspray.”
