Hairspray always delivers, and that includes an incredible story, a talented cast, and, of course, some of the best music ever written for a musical. Tracy Turnblad, an out-of-the-ordinary fat teen from Baltimore, Maryland, has one aspiration in life: to dance on "The Corny Collins Show." She discovers some of their dance moves while serving detention with the school's African-American students and eventually makes it onto Corny's show. Tracy, who became an overnight sensation, uses her newfound celebrity to advocate racial equality on the show. Tracy is targeted and harangued by Velma, the network producer, and her popular but cruel daughter, Amber.
As the story unfolds, Tracy successfully incorporates "The Corny Collins Show" with the aid of teen heartthrob Link, host Corny Collins, and Motormouth Maybelle (who hosts "Negro Day" on Corny's show). Hairspray, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical, is one of the most played musicals today not only because of its glamour and humor but also because of the constructive message it sends about adopting one's differences and moving forward. Tracy Turnbald's amazing story inspires us to look beyond superficial differences like skin color and advocate for the basic human rights of all people.
