Hairspray - The Musical
May 30 through June 16, 2013
The Steeple Players Theatre presents Hairspray. Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager with all the right moves, is obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school, she and her best friend Penny run home to watch the show and drool over the hot Link Larkin, much to Tracy's mother Edna's dismay. After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins holds auditions to see who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With all of the help of her friend Seaweed, Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussle and her mother Velma. Tracy then decides that it's not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, her father and Edna, she's going to integrate the show.....without denting her 'do! The show stars Savannah Hall as Tracy, David Barton as Edna, Matt Newbill as Wilber and Bakari Jamal King as Motormouth Maybelle. Hairspray runs May 30th through June 16th with shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2:00. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for senior citizens and $10 for children and students.
