Hairspray Information:
Hairspray is a musical with music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman and a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, based on the 1988 John Waters movie Hairspray. The songs take Tracy from the sound stage of a 60's-style dance show to the streets of Baltimore to a downtown rhythm and blues record shop. The musical won eight Tony Awards out of thirteen nominations and has played for over 2,000 performances on Broadway. It has also enjoyed U.S. national tours and numerous foreign productions and been adapted for a 2007 musical film.
After pre-Broadway tryouts at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, the musical transferred to Broadway beginning on August 15, 2002 at the Neil Simon Theatre, where it is still running. The production's director is Jack O'Brien, and the choreographer is Jerry Mitchell.
The London West End production opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre on October 11, 2007 for previews before its official opening on October 30, 2007.
