The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State University presents the irresistible musical, HAIRSPRAY.

You can’t stop the beat! HAIRSPRAY, Broadway’s Tony Award-winning musical comedy phenomenon, is back on tour! Join 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad in 1960s Baltimore as she sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show. Can a girl with big dreams — and even bigger hair — change the world? 

Featuring the beloved score of hit songs, including “Welcome to the 60s,” “Good Morning Baltimore,” and “You Can’t Stop the Beat,” HAIRSPRAY is “fresh, winning, and deliriously tuneful!” (The New York Times). 

This all-new touring production will reunite Broadway’s award-winning creative team, led by director Jack O’Brien and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, to bring HAIRSPRAY to a new generation of theatre audiences.  

Don’t miss the show The New Yorker calls an “exhilaratingly funny and warm-hearted musical comedy.” 

Artistic Viewpoints will not be offered before this show.
