DESCRIPTION

Hairspray hit the Raleigh stage in late 2005 starring Keala Settle and J.P. Dougherty. The show, set in 1960s Baltimore, featured dance-loving teen Tracy Turnblad as she auditions for a spot on "The Corny Collins Show" and wins. She becomes an overnight celebrity, a trendsetter in dance, fun and fashion. Audiences find if her new status as a teen sensation is enough to topple Corny's reigning dance queen and bring racial integration to the show.
