Hairspray - The Hit 60s Musical

It's time to let your hair down and party the night away!

HAIRSPRAY, Broadway’s musical comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture is coming to the Brookside Theatre - this is feel-good theatre at it's very best!

Welcome to the '60s! It’s 1962, the ’50s are out and change is in the air... Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion – to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance programme, ‘The Corny Collins Show’ and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the programme’s reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her ‘do? Only in HAIRSPRAY!

HAIRSPRAY is based upon the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters, with a book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Whittman.

And now, you will be swept away to 1960s Baltimore in this smash hit, high-energy musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance – and enough deliriously tuneful songs to fill a non-stop platter party. It’s HAIRSPRAY, live on stage in living colour!
