Hairspray

Location : Mainstage Theater

Hairspray is great for groups and families, a hugely entertaining and funny musical romp, starring Jason Ross! It’s a big, fun summer show with lots of heart, and contagious songs that make you want to get up and dance, 50’s and ‘60’s-style! A celebration of “American Bandstand”-type teenage TV dance shows, Hairspray features a chubby, cheerful Baltimore teen and her mother Edna—played by John Travolta in the recent hit Hairspray movie! Jason Ross plays the wild Travolta role of mom Edna Turnblad, in a comedy explosion to bring down the house. Edna’s daughter Tracy and friends especially love to dance on TV when great-dancing black kids attend, and she helps that happen in ‘60’s Baltimore. Hairspray is big hair, big laughs, big music, and great dancing, with a score of sixtyish songs, and a starring role that puts a tubby Jason Ross in a wig, a dress and the spotlight! Don’t miss it!
