Santa Maria Civic Theatre Presents: Hairspray
August 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27
The Santa Maria Civic Theatre kicks off its 59th season with “Hairspray”, The Broadway Musical, based on the New Line Cinema Film written and directed by John Waters.
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!
