Hairsprayis based upon the New Line Cinema film written and directed by JohnWaters, with a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music by MarcShaiman, and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Hairspray isdirected by Jack O'Brien and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell.

In Hairspray it's 1962 - the '50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore'sTracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, hasonly one passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV danceprogram, "The Corny Collins Show" and, overnight, is transformed fromoutsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter indance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning princess, win theheart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television showwithout 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.
