Behind the Curtain! At TMP presentation: 7 pm, September 19, 2010

Hairspray has delighted audiences around the world by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?

The original Broadway production opened in August 2002 and won eight Tony Awards out of thirteen nominations. It ran for over 2,500 performances and closed in January 2009. Hairspray has also had U.S. national tours, a London West End production and numerous foreign productions and was adapted for a 2007 musical film. The London production was nominated for a record-setting eleven Laurence Olivier Awards, winning for Best New Musical and in three other categories.

A rare combination of unprecedented originality and blinding talent, The Drowsy Chaperone pays tribute to the Jazz-age shows of the 1920s and boldly addresses a great unspoken desire in all of our hearts… to be entertained! If you've ever sat in a dark theater and thought, "Dear Lord in heaven, please let it be good," this is the show for you!

It all begins when a die-hard musical theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love. The winner of five 2006 Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is absolutely a TMP staff favorite!
