Hairspray
October 5-17, 2010
Hobby Center for the Performing Arts
Get ready for big hair and big heart from this beautiful and bubbly Broadway hit! The TUTS debut of Hairspray, will have your family singing and dancing to hits like “Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now,” “You Can't Stop the Beat” and “Good Morning, Baltimore.” Made all the more popular by the recent film, this is a show your family will love. The 50s are out, and Baltimore is ready for change! It’s 1962. Trendsetting teenager Tracy Turnblad has big hair, a big heart and an even bigger dream – to dance on “The Corny Collins Show.” When her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arrives, she grooves her way from outsider to instant teen celebrity. But she’ll need the help of a cast of crazy characters to really shake things up! Can she dethrone the program’s reigning princess, integrate the show’s dance floor and win the love of the dream-boat Link Larkin, without denting her ’do? Find out if a toe-tapping beat and an aerosol attitude are enough to make dreams come true!
