HAIRSPRAY – Performing May 23 – June 13, 2015
It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and lovable plus-size teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire—to dance on the popular Corny Collins TV show. When she finally gets her break, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her new-found power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network, all without denting her ’do. The winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, HAIRSPRAY is a high-energy, family-friendly treat, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs like “Good Morning, Baltimore”; “Welcome to the ’60s”; “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now”; and “You Can’t Stop the Beat.” Join us for this warmhearted, wacky tale of a determined teen whose unlikely stardom helps her fight for what’s right.

Note: South Bay Musical Theatre is an Equal Opportunity organization and traditionally encourages performers of all races, sizes, and appropriate ages to audition for all roles. HAIRSPRAY has specific requirements regarding race and size in key roles. While a joyous romp of a musical, the play deals sensitively and in a straightforward manner with issues of prejudice against “negroes” (as they were called in 1962) and the overweight. It is central to the themes of the play that an accurate depiction of the attitudes and look of the era be achieved. To that end, it is the intention of the artistic staff to fill this production with people who look the roles in terms of race, size, and age. Please bear this in mind as you come to auditions and make every attempt to look the part you seek.
