Hairspray at Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre

Hairspray always delivers, so expect an epic tale, an incredible cast, and, of course, some of the most upbeat music the industry has ever seen.

Peculiar and rather thick Tracy Turnblad is a young woman in 1962 Baltimore, Maryland who dreams of appearing on "The Corny Collins Show." While in detention with the black students, she picks up some of their dance routines, which helps her land a position on Corny's show. Tracy's overnight fame provides her with a forum from which to advocate for racial equality in the press. The network producer, Velma, and her popular but toxic daughter, Amber, relentlessly verbally berate and bully Tracy.

Eventually, Tracy successfully integrates "The Corny Collins Show" with the help of teen heartthrob Link, host Corny Collins, and Motormouth Maybelle (who hosts "Negro Day" on Corny's show). Hairspray, winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, is still one of the most incredible staged shows today, in large part because of the life affirming message it communicates about accepting one's unique self and moving forward, as well as its hilarious and telegenic performances. The inspiring and empowering story of Tracy Turnblad encourages us to fight for the rights of all people, irrespective of superficial similarities like skin color.
