Hairspray is based upon the New Line Cinema film written and directed
by John Waters, with a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music
by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. It is
the Winner of 8 Tony Awards including BEST MUSICAL.

In Hairspray it's 1962 - the '50s are out and change is in the air.
Baltimore's Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even
bigger heart, has only one passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the
local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and, overnight, is
transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a
trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning
princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a
television show without 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.

Hairspray has also become one of the most successful and popular movie
musicals starring John Travolta, Zach Efron and Michelle Pfeiffer.
