Star Center Theatre is thrilled to present Hairspray The Musical! Beginning April 3rd showing Thursday, Friday and Saturdays at 8pm & Sundays at 3pm. Tickets on sale soon!
It’s 1962 in Baltimore, Maryland, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Tracy Turnblad, a quirky teenager with a plus-sized hairdo has a big dream to dance on The Corny Collins Show on national television. Her successful audition transforms her into a local celebrity, but she faces discrimination because of her weight, her choice in friends and her hairdo. Tracy becomes determined to use her influence to push for social change and racial integration in the show.
With memorable songs such as Good Morning, Baltimore and You Can’t Stop The Beat, the show continues to be a widely produced musical. Its timeless message that everyone should be treated equally regardless of social, cultural and physical differences, is as relevant today as it was in the sixties. Hairspray The Musical is a feel-good comedy and winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Score, as well as four Laurence Olivier Awards. Hairspray was also made into (2) Films and (1) Musical.
