Hairspray: The Broadway Musical

Arts Express Theatre - Mainstage / Apr 16, 2027 - May 09, 2027

About the Show

HAIRSPRAY is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and infectious musical numbers. Set in Baltimore, 1962, the story features Tracy Turnblad, a big-hearted teenager with big hair and even bigger dreams: to dance her way onto TV, and catch the eye of teen idol Link Larkin. Can she defeat the program’s reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair? A winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, HAIRSPRAY is an irresistible, feel-good show guaranteed to have you dancing the night away.
