It’s 1962 in Baltimore and quirky, plus-sized, teenager Tracy Turnblad has one dream: to dance on the Corny Collins Show. When she gets put in detention and meets Seaweed and his friends, they teach her some of their dance moves, and her new found groove wins her a spot on Corny’s show. Overnight, Tracy transforms from a nobody into a star.

Tony Award-winning Hairspray continues to be one of the most widely produced musicals today, not only because of its wit and charm, but also because of the message of acceptance and progress that it portrays.
