Set in 1962, Baltimore, Maryland, Hairspray tells the story of dance-loving teenager, Tracy Turnblad and her lifelong dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show and when this dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social exile to sudden superstar and she must use her brand-new clout to triumph the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and amalgamate a TV network… all without denting her ‘do!
