HAIRSPRAY
July 23 - August 16, 2025
Set in Baltimore, 1962, Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger dream: to dance her way onto TV, and into the heart of teen idol Link Larkin. Tracy’s audition makes her a local star and soon she is using her new-found fame to fight for integration. But can she win equality – and Link’s heart – without denting her ‘do? Featuring the hit songs “You Can’t Stop The Beat,” “Welcome to the ‘60s,” “The Nicest Kids in Town,” and many more, HAIRSPRAY is an irresistible, feel-good show guaranteed to have you dancing the night away.
