Hairspray August 7, 2009

HAIRSPRAY is great for groups and families, a hugely entertaining, funny, multicultural musical romp, starring Jason Ross! It’s a big, fun summer show with lots of heart, and songs that make you want to get up and dance (“WELCOME TO THE ‘60’s!”)! A celebration of “Bandstand”-type teenage TV dance shows, smack amid the civil rights movement, HAIRSPRAY features chubby, cheerful Baltimore teenager Tracy and her mother Edna---played by John Travolta in the recent hit HAIRSPRAY movie! Jason Ross plays the wild Travolta comedy role of mom Edna Turnblad, caught in the middle as Tracy and friends (“THE NICEST KIDS IN TOWN”) campaign to dance on TV with great-dancing black kids attending—can that happen in 60’s Baltimore? Yes! HAIRSPRAY is big hair, big laughs, big music, big ideals and great dancing, with a score of sixtyish songs and a starring role that puts a tubby Jason Ross in a wig and a dress, dancin’ in the spotlight with kids of many colors! You “CAN’T STOP THE BEAT!” Don’t miss it!
