Design Elements
hair and bigger hair and huge crinolines and an enormous can of hairsprayChallenges
the role of Edna Turnblad was created by Harvey Firestein in drag and a lot of body padding.Plot Synopsis
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?
