A dance-loving, determined teenager's dream of success will make your heart melt in this incredible tale called Hairspray, the musical. It has all the trappings of an incredible time out, and you can expect to witness the most spectacular visuals and a cast dressed in the most awe-inspiring costumes the industry has ever seen. This show is so catchy that you will find yourself swaying along to all the outstanding rock beats as well as the rhythm and blues grooves. The show has received so many accolades and nominations that it should come as no surprise that tickets are in such high demand. Be sure to buy yours now for a showing at George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater on Wednesday 12th April 2023.
Hairspray always delivers, and that includes an incredible plot, a talented cast, and, of course, some of the most triumphant music ever written for a musical. Tracy Turnblad, an out-of-the-ordinary fat teen from Baltimore, Maryland, has one aspiration in life: to dance on "The Corny Collins Show." She picks up some of their dance skills while serving detention with the school's African-American students and eventually makes it onto Corny's show. Tracy, who became an overnight sensation, uses her newfound celebrity to advocate racial equality on the show. Tracy is targeted and hounded by Velma, the network producer, and her popular but venomous daughter, Amber.
As the story untwists, Tracy successfully integrates "The Corny Collins Show" with the assistance of teen heartthrob Link, host Corny Collins, and Motormouth Maybelle (who hosts "Negro Day" on Corny's show). Hairspray, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical, is one of the most done musicals today not only because of its allure and humor but also because of the proactive message it sends about accepting one's differences and moving forward. Tracy Turnbald's amazing story inspires us to look beyond superficial differences like skin color and advocate for the basic human rights of all people.
