Hairspray
June 15–21 You Can’t Stop the Beat.
Performance time 8:15 p.m. nightly
Tracy Turnblad is back at The Muny and ready to move to the beat of a changing world! It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen dreams of dancing on The Corny Collins Show. When her wish comes true, Tracy rockets from social outcast to sudden star. But she’ll need more than great moves to dethrone the teen queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate the popular TV show once and for all. Based on John Waters’ cult classic 1988 film and winner of eight Tony Awards, Hairspray is a rockin’ dance-filled, joyous musical with big hair, big heart and big fun.
