Hairspray

May 6, 2016 — May 28, 2016

Civic Auditorium

MUSICAL

Good Morning Baltimore! It’s 1962 and change is in the air. Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart has only one passion: to dance. When she wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show,” she is transformed overnight from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program’s reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her “do”? The winner of eight Tony Awards, Hairspray is piled bouffant high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs.

“as sweet as a show can be without promoting tooth decay….”
– The New York Times
