Get hyped Perth! Hairspray is an absolutely sensational and multi award-winning Broadway musical that’s coming right to Perth’s Crown Theatre, opening this Saturday on September 7 and running until September 28 for 3 weeks only!  


One of the most famous musicals in the world, Hairspray made it’s original Broadway premiere in 2002 and was a critical phenomenon. Winner of 8 Tony awards, including Best Musical, it ran almost 3,000 performances before closing in 2009 and going on to grace international stages, including London’s West-End and Melbourne’s Princess Theatre.


Set in 1960s Baltimore, the story follows big-hearted teenager Tracy Turnblad chasing her dreams of dancing on TV, becoming an overnight sensation and working to bring racial integration to the TV show. Hairspray is a joyful celebration of music, dance, and social change that’s perfect for audiences of all ages.
