It's 1962, and pleasantly plump Baltimore 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, but she must use her newfound power to vanquish the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network - all without denting her 'do!

Now it's Taranaki's turn to share in the Broadway's musical-comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture and won eight 2003 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Brought to you by New Plymouth Operatic, HAIRSPRAY features a cast jam-packed with the best local Taranaki talent. Don’t miss what is set to be one of the highlights of the 2013 Taranaki Arts Calendar.

As The New York Times says, "If life were everything it should be, it would be more like HAIRSPRAY. It's irresistible!" Live comedy doesn't get any bigger than this!
