About

Winner of eight Tony(R) Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Direction and Best Male and Female Lead to name a few, it's "Hairspray!" The year's '62 and Baltimore's Tracy Turnblad is going to do whatever it takes to dance her way onto TV's most popular show. Can a big girl with big dreams--and even bigger hair--turn the whole town around and still have time to win the boy she loves? Don't miss this dancing, romancing musical-comedy treat based on John Waters' 1988 film classic, with a book by Mark O'Donnell and two-time Tony Award-winner Thomas Meehan and a brand-new score by five-time Oscar-nominee Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

    Hairspray was colorful and fun!

    by Sunshineonacloudyday on 10/23/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    Great story,colorful costumes,energetic dancing but unfortunately not all performers could sing. Even with sitting in 3rd row could not make out the words to many songs.We had a great time anyway.

    USF Hairspray was the best version I've seen

    by KKinFL on 10/23/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    I've seen it on Broadway, and on the National Tour, and in various community theatres, but this was the best ever. I wish the show would run for weeks and weeks. Best of luck with the Kennedy Center judging. I have a feeling that you have not performed your last.

    Could Have Been Great

    by Agendagirl on 10/22/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    We sat in the second row. There were huge speakers near us. We could not make out one word of the songs or what they were saying. Very unfortunate. We left at intermission.

    Hairspray was simply amazing

    by Jo1959 on 10/22/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    Top rate show. Entertaining and the best performance I have ever seen. The entire cast is filled with talent. My favorite character is Edna. She can sing, act and dance...especially in heels.

    Very Professional Performance, Fun and Engaging

    by Alexibub on 10/20/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    This performance by USF college students was entertaining, very professional and a joy to watch. The staging, costumes, vocals were all top notch. I was pleasantly surprised and I will go back again. The vocals were very strong and the dancing was well done. I wish more men would have been available for the ensemble parts. There was one small glitch with the microphone of the lead but her voice was so strong it wasn't missed.

    "Hairspray" was energetic and fun!

    by WendE786 on 10/16/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    I had high expectations for this production of "Hairspray" and my expectations were met. The main players as well as the ensemble showed excellence in voice and movement . Main players Raechelle Egan (Tracy Turnblad), Christopher Byrne (as Mr. Pinky), Lennox Williams (Seaweed J. Stubbs), Ryan Bernier (Edna Turnblad), and Briana Moten (as Motormouth Maybelle) were particularly memorable for their performances. The techs cannot be left out here. They were on "spot" with the lighting cues, props, scenes and costumes - excellent. Director Andy J. Frye gets two thumbs up from me.

    Highly recommend "Hair Spray"!

    by Bryony on 10/16/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    Every member of the cast did an excellent job of acting, singing, dancing - and possessing awesome energy. I didn't know there were so many USF theater students capable of all three! I didn't expect an intermission that far into the play, but I imagine the cast needed a brief rest. Good costumes, lighting and creative scenery. My only complaint - and I heard this from others who were there, also, was the volume of the accompanying music - way too loud, almost ear-splitting. I would have brought ear plugs had I known. The theater was too small for such volume. Otherwise, a great experience!

    The sow was kind of different that what I know and saw from the movie which was produced few years ago, but as I was watching the play I was singing along with all the songs and I could say that in general everyone liked it listening to other people sayings about it and just at the break between the acts, few ladies were discussing about how they use to look like back in the 60's. it was really exciting listening to them talk about themselves as the play reminded them of these old days. I also took few pictures of the play and the light effects with the whole acting came out as a good result for these pictures. All the students were amazing in that show and they were really funny, talented and made the whole play look really good. all the best.

    Hairspray is Spectacular!

    by FaithDARmom on 10/16/12USF Theatre 1 - Tampa

    Just amazing! If you are anywhere near the Tampa area, I suggest you stop by USF to see an incredibly talented group of students. The costumes were perfected to the 60s era.The students performances showed their pride and talent in every scene.The musical was a nice fit between the original Hairspray and the remake.A lot of great moments throughout the whole show.

    Hairspray, thumbs up!

    by Shp2drp on 7/23/12Five Flags Center - Dubuque

    Loved the play, the humor, the singing. My 12 year old thought it was better then Annie she just seen last month. Only thing I would change - the background music, instruments were a little loud - would of liked to hear the singers a little more. Was so glad we went to it - really enjoyed it!
