Show Story
Set in 1962, Hairspray is the story of Tracy Turnblad, a Baltimore teenager, whose passion in life is dancing. When Tracy wins a spot on the Corny Collins Show she becomes a TV celebrity overnight, but can she beat the show’s reigning champ Amber Von Tussle and win the heart of hunk Link Larkin?
