INFO

The Hoogland Center for the Arts is excited to present the smash hit musical HAIRSPRAY on August 21-23 and August 28-30, 2026. The show will be directed by Morgan Kaplan and Andrew Maynerich, with musical direction by Damien Kaplan.

The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs.

It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular "Corny Collins Show." When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her 'do!
