Here's how MTW bills the hit musical: "Hairspray, based on the John Waters camp classic film of the same name, is the story of big dreams, big girls and big hair! Typical teenager Tracy Turnblad is obsessed with The Corny Collins Show and teen heartthrob, Link Larkin. Though rejected at the Corny Collins auditions, Tracy shows off some moves at the Sophomore Hop, where Corny Collins gives her a place on his show. Tracy is soon launched to stardom, and once on the show, changes the face of 1960s Baltimore forever." Tickets are available by phoning (562) 856-1999 ext. 4, or by visiting MusicalTheatreWest.
