HAIRSPRAY TOUR
Hairspray is on tour with Michael Ball reprising his cross-dressing role as Edna Turnblad.
Hairspray is based on the 1988 film comedy. The musical takes place in 1962 with Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad (a large girl with big hair and a large heart) who wants to dance.
She wins a spot on the 'The Corny Collins Show' which is a local television programme, and overnight becomes a teenage celebrity. But can she overthrow the programme's reigning princess Amber Von Tussle, whose overbearing mother produces the show.
They are both excited about a Corny Collins Spectacular: Live from the Eventorium, sponsored by Ultra Clutch Hairspray. The girl on the show who gets the highest popularity rating will be crowned Miss Teenage Hairspray - and Amber wants that crown.
The catchy score of Hairspray (including "You Can't Stop the Beat") takes Tracy from the sound stage of a ‘60's dance show to the streets of Baltimore and on to a downtown rhythm and blues record shop.
THE TOUR OF HAIRSPRAY ENDED ON 30TH APRIL 2011
