2009 Season Guest Survey

Hairspray - With Broadway's BIGGEST Tony Award-Winning Show, You Can't Stop the Beat!
Tracy Turnblad is a big girl with big dreams – to dance. When she wins a spot on a local TV dance show, she tries to racially integrate the show, turning her from outsider to instant celebrity. Tracy now must win the affection of heart throb Link Larsen, and defeat the evil Von Tussle family with the help of her mom, best friend Penny and new friend Seaweed. This pop-styled celebration of Baltimore in the 1960’s is a great show for the whole family.

The show centers around a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School in Putnam County, NY. Six quirky adolescents, played by adults, compete in the Bee, run by three equally-quirky grown-ups. The spellers learn that winning isn't everything. Spelling Bee was nominated for six Tony Awards, winning two, including Best Book. Four real audience members are invited on stage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the six young characters, while listening to the Official Pronouncer provide ridiculous usage examples when asked to use words in a sentence.

The show made famous by so many of Broadway and Hollywood’s leading women: Carole Channing, Barbara Streisand, Ethel Merman, Ginger Rogers, and many, many more. Hello, Dolly! won the Tony Award for Best Musical and nine other Tony’s in 1964. The show has become one of the most enduring musical theatre hits, enjoying three Broadway revivals and international success. It was also made into a 1969 film that was nominated for seven Academy Awards. Matchmaker Dolly makes her living by meddling in the affairs of her clients, while learning a thing or two about the importance of love over money.
