Hairspray
Directed by Wayne Marek
In 1960s Baltimore, the 50s are out and change is in the air. When plus-size heroine Tracy Turnblad wins a spot on the local TV dance program, she becomes an overnight sensation. Can she vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the TV show, and find true love without mussing her hair?
