________________________________
 
HAIRSPRAY  delighted audiences 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?
