Hairspray
The irresistible spirit of the Swingin' 60s roars back to London life at the Shaftesbury Theatre, in a musical that's a breath of fresh hair. Hairspray: Hot Tunes and High Barnets
It's the musical with everything – big tunes, big laughs, big attitudes and big hair!
The year is 1962 and Tracy Turnblad is the unlikely toast of Baltimore after winning a competition to star on TV dance programme "The Corny Collins Show".
But can this beefy babe upset the odds by defeating the reigning dancing queen, winning the man of her dreams and turning the show's racist attitude on its head – all without upsetting her hairdo?
Hairspray - An Award-winner
Based on John Waters' smash-hit 1988 film, this Tony award-winning musical features an original score by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, who co-wrote the songs for South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut.
Hairspray: Starring Michael Ball
The show stars stage-legends Michael Ball and Ian Talbot, Leanne Jones and Ben James-Ellis. And we think you'll agree; they "gel" beautifully...
