Signature Theatre presents Hairspray, the hit musical based on John Waters' cult classic film that won eight Tony Awards in 2003 and inspired a new major motion picture musical. Set in 1960s Baltimore, Hairspray tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a misfit teenager who becomes a local celebrity by dancing on TV's Corny Collins Show. Her love of dancing leads Tracy to become an unlikely heroine, triumphing over both snotty teen queens and racial segregation.

Does not really matter what I thought as the run closed yesterday. I thought the theater was great, no bad seats. I think the casting could have been better. One of the primary characters was a man dressed in drag and I found the storyline suffered for it. Had they cast a woman in the role, it would have been better. No bias here and he did great job. Perhaps the original casting for Hairspray was meant to be a woman in drag, but I saw no value added.

Description

The 2003 Tony Award®-Winner for Best Musical

The world is spinning out of control … but all Tracy Turnblad wants to do is dance.

When she wins a coveted spot on The Corny Collins Show, Baltimore’s most popular teen dance program, the high school loser with the big heart, big personality and big hair proves everyone wrong and becomes a local TV celebrity. It seems like Tracy will have it all – the eye of heartthrob Link Larkin, the Miss Teenage Hairspray crown, even a modeling gig with Mr. Pinky’s Hefty Hideaway.

But is segregated Baltimore ready to embrace her demand for racial integration? And will her larger-than-life mother ever leave the house?
