The international musical phenomenon Hairspray returns to Aylesbury this year! After breaking box office records and delighting audiences in the West-End, on Broadway and on the big screen since 1988, this smash hit musical-comedy has quite the legacy, and now we’re heading back out on tour around the UK and Ireland in 2021.
Exchange Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP20 1UG
Mon - Sat at 19:30
Thu and Sat at 14:30 and 19:30
Welcome to the 60s, where everyone’s grooving to a brand-new sound! Enter our vivacious heroine Tracy Turnblad, who has big hair, a big heart, and big dreams to dance her way onto national TV, and into the heart of teen idol Link Larkin. When Tracy becomes a local star, she is able to use her newfound fame to fight for liberation, tolerance, and interracial unity in Baltimore. But can she win equality – and Link’s heart – without denting her ’do?
Starring Brenda Edwards as Motormouth Maybelle and Norman Pace as Wilbur Turnblad.
Wonderfully fresh and vivid- The Stage
