Drury Lane Theatre presents Hairspray, the hit musical based on John Waters' cult classic film. The Broadway musical 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. Tracy's love of dancing leads her to become an unlikely heroine, triumphing over both snotty teen queens and racial segregation. Learn More

I would give the talent and the set / theater each 5 stars!!! I give the writing / plot zero stars. Song writing 3 stars. Excellent singing, choreography / dancing, and even tremendous tap dancing! I really liked the actors given the pathetic script. Music was mostly jazzy / roaring 20's ish. Costuming was great - also roaring 20's ish. Set and whole front of the theater were beautiful Japanese style. BUT: Stupid script which also led to some really bad lyrics in a few songs. But mostly excellent music / vocals including a live band. You can have a good time at this show, but the storyline isn't a reason to see Hot Mikado.Written on Aug 17 2010

More Information About Hot Mikado
Description
Directed by David Bell
East meets West head-on in this hilarious 1940s-style update of a Gilbert and Sullivan favorite with music transmuted into blues, swing, hot gospel, scorching torch songs and a homage to the Andrew Sisters' that is a show-stopper. This tap-dancing, zoot-suited comedy is certain to provide the ideal evening out for the whole family.
Drury Lane has benefited from the unique vision of David Bell since the very beginning: In 1984 he directed the company's first show, Give My Regards to Broadway. David's international credits include London and Broadway successes as well as countless awards.
Having directed and choreographed 10 productions of Hot Mikado, David says of the experience, "There is something about the high octane - “Zoot Suited” swing dancing, the diverse rhythm and Blues, Gospel and Big Band score, and the good-natured old-fashioned clowning – that has captured the imagination of. . .audiences over the years."
