On the history
Hairspray is the story of a girl named Tracy Turnblad, a dancer of aspiration which hopes to earn a place in a local television program called The Corny Collins Show. The show is based on a Baltimore-based program called the Buddy Dean Show in Baltimore, Maryland.
Tracy is an unknown in the dance world when she auditioned, but she is elected for a place against all odds and becomes a celebrity dancing almost all night. Tracy is encouraged by this new status, and she decides to use his fame to make positive changes for the program. The fundamental basis for these positive changes involving the race. Tracy wants to racially integrate the program, and as one might imagine, It is with great resistance.

Hairspray tickets available for the first time in the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle before its successful career that led to Neil Simon Theatre on Broadway August 15, 2002. The work continues to run on Broadway, and has made several successful tours of the United States to meet demand.
The story itself is based on the 1988 movie by John Waters of the same name, and theatergoers and experts alike have raved about their quality in several respects.
