We want to be the bridge to the next phase of a professional career. Our most recent ensemble members collaborative work includes Shakespeare High Executive Produced by Kevin Spacey and From Bronx To Yale Produced by The Guardian.
Description
Hairspray The Musical
Step into the vibrant and lively world of the 1960s with our upcoming event, Hairspray The Musical.
Witness a performance that will transport you back in time to 1962 in Baltimore, where the lovable plus-size teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire - to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream becomes a reality, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star, but 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!
The musical is a bold, bright, and heartwarming journey that speaks volumes about individuality and the power of acceptance. With catchy tunes and uplifting messages, you're guaranteed to leave the theatre humming and with a renewed sense of optimism.
