Hairspray is the musical tale of Tracy Turnblad - a big girl with big hair and a big heart who loves to dance - who becomes an overnight celebrity when she wins a spot on the local TV dance programme, the Corny Collins Show. Determined to prove that dancing is for everyone, whatever their size or colour, the irrepressible Tracy sets out to bring Baltimore kicking and screaming into the 60s. But can our heroine upstage the programme's current princess, bring integration to Baltimore and win the love of heartthrob Link Larkin without denting her 'do?
