You Can’t Stop the Beat! HAIRSPRAY, Broadway’s Tony Award-winning musical comedy phenomenon is back on tour! Join 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad in 1960’s Baltimore as she sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show. Can a girl with big dreams (and even bigger hair) change the world? Featuring the beloved score of hit songs including “Welcome to the 60’s,” “Good Morning Baltimore” and “You Can’t Stop the Beat,” HAIRSPRAY is “fresh, winning, and deliriously tuneful!” (The New York Times). This all-new touring production will reunite Broadway’s award-winning creative team led by Director Jack O’Brien and Choreographer Jerry Mitchell to bring HAIRSPRAY to a new generation of theater audiences. Don’t miss this “exhilaratingly funny and warm-hearted musical comedy” (The New Yorker).

    Even better than you remember!

    All I can say is, wow! This was my first play I saw since the pandemic started, and my first time seeing HAIRSPRAY since seeing it in the cinema 15(!) years ago, and I would it met and even exceeded my expectations. Was mostly impressed with the immensely talented cast who sang their hearts out, but also loved the bright, colorful costumes and sets. The play also touches on themes of racial equality and civil rights in the 60s while staying optimistic and without coming off as preachy. Overall the play is just plain joyful and FUN! By the time you leave the theater you’ll be happier than when you walked in, and have “You Can’t Stop the Beat” playing on loop in your head for days on end. 100% recommend!

    This version of Hairspray was fabulous! They synced wonderfully together. The audience felt the vibe as well, and really showed their appreciation at the end! If you get the chance, try to catch this tour company

    Hairspray in Chicago was every bit as good as I remember it being. Bright colors, hugely talented cast, and I walked out of that theatre tapping my feet and humming “You Can’t Stop the Beat”. Go see it while you have the chance!!
