Genre: Musical

“THE BEAV” goes Broadway! Ashley Parker Angel of MTV fame and “Spy Kid” Alexa Vega and the entire HAIRSPRAY family welcome JERRY MATHERS to the cast!

Winner of eight 2003 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Direction and Best Male and Female Lead to name a few, it's "Hairspray!"

The year's '62 and Baltimore's Tracy Turnblad is going to do whatever it takes to dance her way onto TV's most popular show. Can a big girl with big dreams--and even bigger hair--turn the whole town around and still have time to win the boy she loves?

Don't miss this dancing, romancing musical-comedy treat based on John Waters' 1988 film classic, with a book by Mark O'Donnell and two-time Tony Award®-winner Thomas Meehan and a brand-new score by five-time Oscar-nominee Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
