When you follow your own beat, the world will follow you…
Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager with all the right moves, is obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school, she and her best friend Penny run home to watch the show and drool over the hot Link Larkin, much to Tracy’s mother Edna’s dismay. After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins holds auditions to see who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With all of the help of her friend Seaweed, Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussle and her mother Velma. Tracy then decides that it’s not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, her father and Edna, she’s going to integrate the show…..without denting her ‘do!
Sandy (from our Tourist Information Centre) went to see the show last night at the Blackpool Grand Theatre… and here is what she had to say:
The people of blackpool if you have chance go to the Grand Theatre this week and support the Blackpool and Fylde Light Operatic Company, you’re in for a treat.
Hairspray the musical is on until Saturday.
What a great show
Wonderful musical arrangements, well choreographed dance routines and amazing sets.
All the cast worked extremely hard, they are all stars and shone all night.
It’s a blast – a show not to be missed!
