The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs.

It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular "Corny Collins Show." When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her 'do’!

Hairspray continues to be one of the most widely produced musicals today, not only because of its wit, charm and fabulous dancing, but also because of the beautiful message of acceptance and progress that it portrays. The bright, energetic story of Tracy Turnblad celebrates diversity, individuality, resilience and equal rights.

Limited season opening at the Twelfth Night Theatre 21-30 November 2025.

Curtain 7.30 p.m. (except Sundays) Matinees 1.00 p.m. on Sat and Sun.
