ABOUT THE SHOW

Set in 1962 Baltimore, Hairspray follows teenager Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and even bigger dreams of dancing on The Corny Collins Show, a popular local TV program. Despite facing body shaming and social barriers, Tracy wins a spot on the show and uses her newfound fame to speak out against racial segregation. With the help of her quirky friends, her loving parents Edna and Wilbur, and the charismatic Motormouth Maybelle, Tracy becomes an unlikely hero—proving that one person can make a difference. Filled with catchy songs, high-energy dancing, and a heartwarming message of inclusion, Hairspray is a joyful celebration of love, acceptance, and standing up for what’s right.
