Did you know…it’s 1962—the ’50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion—to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. is based on the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters, who served as a creative consultant on the musical comedy.
Hairspray features an original score by Academy Award-nominated Marc Shaiman (who co-wrote the music and lyrics for the acclaimed animated musical, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut) and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
In 2003 Hairspray won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical.
