‘Hairspray’ continues to set the West End alight. It has been described as ‘the most happy, funny and sunny show in town’. If you don’t already know, it is set in Baltimore in 1962 and tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, an outsider who becomes a teen sensation.

The show first opened on Broadway on 18 July 2002 and played there for over six years. In the summer of 2007, the show not only opened in London’s West End, it also opened in Japan, Korea and South Africa. It won the Olivier Award for Best Musical in 2008 and the sales of theatre tickets continue, with no sign of the show’s popularity waning.

The show’s big budget shows up on stage with a cast of 35 and no less than 175 wigs used in the production. From 08 November there will be performances on Sundays which is good news for people spending a long weekend in London.
