You Cant Stop the Beat

Based on the cult John Waters film Hairspray and set in 1960s racially divided Baltimore,Hairspray tells the story of pleasantly plump Tracy Turnblad, a girl with a big heart, big hair and an even bigger passion for dancing. When the Corny Collins Show announces a dance competition for Americas next teen dance star, Tracy jumps at the chance to achieve her dream. Tracy must break down barriers of race and class, win the affections of heart throb Link Larkin, and spend the night in jail. Featuring a rousing score that includes the musical hits Good Morning Baltimore, You Cant Stop the Beat, and The Nicest Kids in Town, Hairspray will have the Historic Dock Street Theatre rocking and rollin like never before.
