Synopsis

Hairspray is the 2003 Tony Award® winner for Best Musical!

Based on filmmaker John Waters' affectionately subversive homage to his Baltimore youth, Hairspray takes place in 1962.

Chubby Tracy Turnblad (Marissa Jaret Winokur, 2003 Tony winner for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical) is transformed into a teen celebrity on a local TV dance program.

With her irresistible stage mother (Harvey Fierstein, 2003 Tony winner for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical) at her side, she attempts to win the heart of the local heartthrob and integrate “The Corny Collins Show” at the same time.
