Hairspray: Final Broadway Event of The Season
Hairspray is a musical comedy set in 1960s Baltimore. 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad sets out to get onto TV’s most popular teen dance show, along the way she finds love and helps campaign for integration.
Hairspray started as a 1988 movie (starring Divine, the inspiration for Disney’s villain Ursula), which had a moderately successful run before turning into a cult classic. It was adapted into a 2002 Broadway musical which won 8 Tony Awards. This adaptation was readapted five years later into a highly-rated and star-studded film.
The final Broadway musical of TPAC’s 2023-2024 season, Hairspray will be at TPAC’s Jackson Theater June 11-19. For more information see: Hairspray | Broadway Shows in Nashville at TPAC and Hairspray on Tour.
