HAIRSPRAY |
|
Hairspray is based upon the New Line Cinema film written and
directed by John Waters, with a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music
by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. It is the Winner
of 8 Tony Awards including BEST MUSICAL.
In Hairspray it's 1962 - the '50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore's
Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one
passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny
Collins Show" and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible
teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the
program's reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and
integrate a television show without denting her 'do? Only in Hairspray! Welcome
to the '60s!
The musical features an original score by Marc Shaiman (who co-wrote the music
and lyrics for the acclaimed animated musical, South Park: Bigger, Longer &
Uncut) and Scott Wittman. Their songs take Tracy from the soundstage of a
60's-style dance show to the streets of Baltimore to a downtown rhythm and
blues record shop.
Hairspray has also become one of the most successful and popular movie musicals
starring John Travolta, Zach Efron and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Hairspray runs at the Star Theatre, CCP Complex from November 14 – December 7,
2008.
