Hairspray at Madison Street Theatre

Hairspray is boppin' into the Madison Street Theatre in Oak Park, and it's piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and infectious tunes. Set in '60s Baltimore, this hit musical that scored eight Tony Awards tells the story of lovable plus-sized teen Tracy Turnblad -- a social misfit who becomes a local celebrity by dancing on TV's Corny Collins Show. Tracy's love of dancing leads her to become an unlikely heroine, triumphing over both snotty teen queens and racial segregation. And she does it all without mussing a hair of her stylish 'do.
