The incredible, amazing story of a dance-obsessed, self-assured teen who aspires to make it big will leave you swooning in Hairspray, the musical. It contains all the makings of a fabulous evening out: the set design is completely perfect, the acting is superb, and the costumes are among the most inventive and elaborate ever seen in the entertainment business. There are some truly astonishing rock beats and rhythm and blues grooves in this show, and you will find yourself wanting to get up and dance. When a show receives multiple nominations and awards like this one, it's no surprise that demand for tickets escalates. Don't wait; grab yours right now before it is too late. You can catch it live at George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater on Thursday 13th April 2023.
Fat, unconventional Tracy Turnblad lives in 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, and desires to perform on "The Corny Collins Show." She learns some of the black students' dance routines while serving detention with them and eventually makes it onto Corny's show. Tracy's immediate success gives her a forum to espouse for racial equality in the media. Tracy is continuously harassed and bullied by Velma, the network producer, and Amber, her popular but vengeful daughter. With the help of teen heartthrob Link, host Corny Collins, and Motormouth Maybelle (who hosts "Negro Day" on Corny's show), Tracy skillfully integrates "The Corny Collins Show." In addition to its humorous and personable performances, the cheerful message it conveys about accepting one's unique self and moving forward is a big reason why Hairspray, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical, is still one of the most commonly staged musicals today. In spite of minor differences, such as skin color, the uplifting and encouraging story of Tracy Turnblad calls us to fight for the rights of all people. This is why Hairspray is a must watch for everyone! Nothing will make you happier than coming to the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater on Thursday 13th April 2023.
