WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Tony Award-winning musical Hairspray comes to Vegas. It's 1962 -- the '50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore's Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion -- to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, The Corny Collins Show and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a plus-size trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her 'do? Only in Hairspray! Welcome to the '60s!
The show's original creators, including director Jack O'Brien, choreographer Jerry Mitchell, Marc Shaiman (music /co-lyrics), Scott Wittman (lyrics), book writers Mark O'Donnell, and Thomas Meehan have modified Hairspray at Luxor Las Vegas to run without an intermission.

As soon as it was announced that the full-length, two-act musical Hairspray would be whittled down to 90 intermissionless minutes for its Las Vegas production, fans began to wonder how roughly an hour of material could be cut without ruining the show. After all, Hairspray is a skillfully constructed musical with very little music or dialogue that could be classified as negligible, redundant, or superfluous -- unlike The Phantom of the Opera, which is also set for a Vegas run and could only be improved by major editing.
Yes, Hairspray, the irresistible show that centers around a chunky, free-thinking, early '60s teenager and her zaftig mom, has been "trimmed of the fat" for the tab version [...]
