You can’t stop the beat! Hairspray, Broadway’s Tony Award-winning musical comedy phenomenon, is back on tour! Join 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad in 1960s Baltimore as she sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show. Can a girl with big dreams (and even bigger hair) change the world?

"If life were everything it should be, it would be more like Hairspray."

— The New York Times

This is the first performance of Hairspray at the Moss Arts Center.

Cast members of "Hairspray" perform on a brightly colored, '60s-inspired set. In the foreground is a tall blonde person in a long multicolored patterned dress with blue feather trim at the hem and on the sleeves. Looking at her is a shorter heavyset girl with brown hair, a white button down shirt, and a plaid skirt.
A Black woman with a big blonde wig wears a red two-piece pantsuit and sings on stage, her arms extended to either side.
The cast of "Hairspray" sings and dances on set. Everyone jumps into the air with their arms extended above their heads in 60s-era costumes.
A Black man in a lime green and blue striped button down shirt and grey pants stands on a pedestal. Below him, other cast members dance in the shadows. The background is black with large purple polka dots in circular patterns.
A short, heavyset white woman with dark brown air and a white dress cuddles up to a taller white man with dark brown hair wearing a blue plaid jacket, blue shirt, and white tie.
A white man in a patterned button down shirt stands with a white man in drag in front of a beige curtain. The man in drag wears a blonde curly wig under a blue handkerchief and a blue floral dress. Hanging from their wrist is a white handkerchief, and they wear a strong red lipstick.
Three Black women in red A-line dresses, red gloves, and red high heels dance in front of a set that looks like stone apartment building fronts.
A white man with brown hair, a silver jacket, grey shirt, and dark grey tie holds a can of hairspray under the spotlight, arms outstretched in front of a red curtain. He looks like he's selling something.
A blonde white woman with 60's hair and yellow dress grabs two white men by the collars and holds them close to her. She's sitting crosslegged on a desk. The two men look uncomfortable but excited.
Two Black women and one Black man sing and dance on the brightly colored, '60s-inspired set for Hairspray.
Four white women and one white man sing on stage. The women wear purple dresses and extravagantly styled hair. The man wears a silver jacket and pants, grey shirt, and dark grey tie.
The cast of "Hairspray" stands on stage, some on yellow block stage risers, and look at a woman in a long red dress explode through two white doors, streamers released above her.
