Hairspray took Broadway by storm, winning 8 Tony awards, and the production went on to win 4 Olivier awards in the West End, and multiple awards worldwide. 

Featuring some of musical theatre’s biggest hit songs - Welcome to the 60s, You Can’t Stop the Beat, Good Morning Baltimore - and many more. Hairspray is the hilarious, joyous, and inspiring musical for all!
