'Hairspray' at the Sayreville Main Street Theatre Company

The Sayreville Main Street Theatre Co. will be presenting "Hairspray".

The show will be running from July 17 to 26 at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $20 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $12 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, or ordered online.

The 1950's are out and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical piled bouffant high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire -- to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network, all without denting her 'do!

"Hairspray" has music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman, and a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan. The show is based on the film by John Waters.

The show will be performed by a youth cast of actors ages 14 to 22. It is produced by Roberta Ferlita, directed by Ron Mancini, musically directed by Nicole Barrow White, and choreographed by Ashley Clack.
