Hairspray is a feel-good celebration of individuality, community, and big dreams. Set in 1962 Baltimore, the story follows big-hearted teenager Tracy Turnblad as she sets out to dance on “The Corny Collins Show”—and ends up launching a mission to integrate the program, challenge outdated beauty standards, and bring people together through the power of music and movement. Filled with infectious songs, big laughs, and powerful themes of love, acceptance, and inclusivity, Hairspray is the ultimate Broadway musical for audiences of all ages.
