Hairspray, the original, big-hearted, multi award-winning Broadway hit musical arrives in August.

Hairspray is the romantic comedy of dance-loving teenager Tracy Turnblad who has one dream: to dance on The Corny Collins Show. When her dream becomes reality, big-haired Tracy falls in love and finds friends in unexpected ways.

Starring much-loved stage and screen performer Shane Jacobson as Edna Turnblad, Todd McKenney as Wilbur Turnblad, Rhonda Burchmore as Velma Von Tussle, Rob Mills as Corny Collins, Asabi Goodman as Motormouth Maybelle and introducing Carmel Rodrigues as Tracy Turnblad.

Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical - this joyous new Australian production of Hairspray features the irrepressible feel-good songs Good Morning Baltimore, Big Blonde and Beautiful, and You Can’t Stop the Beat.
