The story of big hair and winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Hairspray, is coming to Washington, DC. It’s the 1962 story of curvy Baltimore teen Tracy, a teen girl with big dreams and even bigger hair.
She daydreams all day at school about becoming a dancer on her favorite after-school teen dance TV program, “The Corny Collins Show”. After auditioning and winning a spot as a dancer on the show, she is catapulted from a nobody to A-list celebrity overnight.
In no time, Tracy becomes one of shows most likable kids, threatening the status of the station manager’s snobby and rich daughter. More importantly, jeopardizing the probability of her winning the “Miss Teenage Hairspray” pageant.
