You can’t stop this beat! There’s a reason Hairspray remains one of the most popular musicals of the last two decades – winning the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book during its original Broadway run. Tracy Turnblad may be a bigger girl than the usual teen heartthrobs who dance on the Corny Collins Show, but when she gets her chance to shine, she does more than light up the stage – she changes lives … her mother’s, her community’s, and even her own.
