HAIRSPRAY
The Broadway Musical April 12 - June 17, 2012

Book By: Mark O’Donnell, Marc Shaiman
Music By: Marc Shaiman
Lyrics By: Scott Wittman

Based on the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters

Directed By: Tammy Mader
Choreographed By: Tammy Mader

Originally a cult classic John Waters film, HAIRSPRAY was remade in 2007, starring John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer. The remake, which was nominated for a Golden Globe, was one of the top five highest grossing movie musicals of all time. The smash hit Broadway production of HAIRSPRAY won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. "You Can't Stop the Beat" to this family-friendly musical that is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. Set in Baltimore in 1962, HAIRSPRAY is the story of pleasantly plump teen, Tracy Turnblad, who does whatever it takes to fulfill her lifelong dream of appearing on the popular Corny Collins Show. Can this plus-size trendsetter vanquish the program's reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her fabulous 'do? Only in HAIRSPRAY! "Welcome to the 60s!"

WINNER OF 8 TONY AWARDS

"Infectiously Funny, Playfully Subversive, Talent-Filled revival of 'Hairspray'"

Mader, herself an ace dancer-actress, has created a production marked by speed, lightness of touch, easy humor and sensational dance numbers. Castillo, with extensive credits in regional theater, is instantly lovable as she dances up a storm in her totally geeky plaid skirt and white blouse, falls h...

"Hairspray is the kind of Uptempo Fun that leaves you Tapping your Toes and Grinning like a Goofball!"

It’s rare that I feel like putting an exclamation point anywhere, but Tony-award winning Hairspray actually is such a loveable exclamation that I was quite simply compelled. It’s a wonder of the modern musical world—something that so easily could have been just another product like so many other mus...

"If there’s a more Optimistic, Ebullient Musical than Hairspray, I’m hard pressed to say what it is."

From Tracy Turnblad, the peppy, chubby teenager who anchors the show with her unwavering joie de vivre to Motormouth Mabel, who gives it some spiritual heft, “Hairspray” is one long infectious good mood, a bouncy, bubbly party that celebrates diversity and great, big heartedness....

The 39 Steps
July 5, 2012

A hit on Broadway and the West End, the thrilling comedy THE 39 STEPS is adapted from the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film. THE 39 STEPS is fourth on the British Film Institute's list of the greatest British films of the 20th century. Based upon the idea of an innocent man on the run, the story centers on Richard Hannay, an Englishman who inadvertently embarks on a chaotic adventure full of narrow escapes after trying to help a female spy. When he wakes up to find her dead in his apartment, he flees from the police and an espionage organization, desperately trying to find the truth. THE 39 STEPS features four actors bringing more than 150 characters to life throughout the play, making it a one-of-a-kind production that audiences will not soon forget.
