Hairspray at Lawrenceville Arts Center

Big hair, big heart, and big fun take the stage in Downtown Lawrenceville! Presented by Pretty as a Penny Productions, set in 1962 Baltimore, Hairspray follows lovable, dance-loving teen Tracy Turnblad. When Tracy wins a spot on the local "Corny Collins Show," she transforms from an outsider into a local celebrity—and uses her platform to champion integration, celebrate body positivity, and bring people together. Packed with iconic songs like "You Can't Stop the Beat" and "Good Morning Baltimore," this high-energy musical proves that anyone can change the world.
