This July, it’s all about Rock N’ Roll, big hair and bigger dreams when Phoenix Productions, Central Jersey’s award-winning community theatre company takes you to back to the 60’s with HAIRSPRAY July 15-24. Hairspray is sheer, irresistible fun, full of joyful dance numbers, hilarious moments and social conscience. Set in 1962 Baltimore, the show follows the irrepressible Tracy Turnblad who just isn’t skinny like the other girls, journey from social outcast to sudden stardom when her dream of becoming a dancer on the Corny Collins Show Top 40 Show comes true. Nothing stops Tracy from showing that “different” is the new cool, winning the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrating a TV Station along the way – all without denting her ‘do! This fantastically fun musical, winner of eight 2003 Tony Awards including Best Musical, celebrated over 6 record-breaking years during its Broadway run. We dare you to stop your toes from tapping to this joyful and infectious score, full of 60s dance music and downtown rhythm and blues. It's HAIRSPRAY, live on stage, in living color!
