ABOUT THE SHOW
It’s 1962 in Baltimore, Maryland, and quirky, plus-sized, teenage Tracy Turnblad has one dream: to dance on "The Corny Collins Show".
When she gets put in detention with the African-American students in the school, they teach her some of their dance moves, and her new found groove wins her a spot on Corny’s show.
Overnight, Tracy transforms from a nobody into a star, and uses her newfound influence to advocate for racial integration on the television show.
Tracy faces scrutiny and bullying from the network producer, Velma, and her popular, but vicious, daughter, Amber.
With the help of the teenage heartthrob Link, host Corny Collins, and Motormouth Maybelle (the host of "Negro Day" on Corny's show), Tracy overcomes the odds and succeeds in her mission to integrate "The Corny Collins Show".
Tony Award-winning "HAIRSPRAY" continues to be one of the most widely produced musicals today, not only because of its wit and charm, but also because of the beautiful message of acceptance and progress that it portrays.
The bright, energetic story of Tracy Turnblad teaches us all to look past the color of one’s skin and fight for every human being’s equal rights. (STAGEAGENT)
ABOUT SULLIVAN REP
SULLIVAN REP aims to create a theatrical home to further support Boston-based theater artists. By adopting a repertory model where performers are contracted for multiple shows within the same season, SULLIVAN REP hopes to foster a deeper sense of community and familiarity between performers and audiences alike. This consistency also allows SULLIVAN REP to provide a space which supports artists who have pursued alternate career paths, limiting their ability to commit to productions with larger demands on their time.
