In 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, Tracy Turnblad is obsessed with The Corny Collins Show and one of its dancers, Link Larkin. Though rejected by producer Velma Von Tussle at auditions, when Tracey shows off some moves at the Sophomore Hop, Corny Collins gives her a place on the show. Tracey is soon launched to celebrity stardom overnight and meets a colourful array of characters. But she can’t stand that the show won’t allow integration and launches a campaign to make it happen.

This fantastic fun show is based on the 1988 John Waters film Hairspray and the songs include 1960’s style dance music and downtown rhythm and blues.
