Michael
Ball
will reprise his West End role as Edna Turnblad.
In Hairspray, 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 programme, 'The Corny Collins
Show' and, overnight, is transformed from
outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity.
But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion
vanquish the programme'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! Hairspray
is based upon the New Line Cinema film written
and directed by John Waters, with a book
by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan,
music by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Marc
Shaiman and Scott Whittman. Hairspray is
directed by Jack O’Brien and choreographed
by Jerry Mitchell.

From
the producers of such massive touring hits
as South Pacific, 42nd Street, Seven Brides
for Seven Brothers and many more comes a
brand new revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s
classic musical Oklahoma! Oklahoma! was
more than a hit -- it was the first real
phenomenon in modern Broadway history. Set
on America’s Western Frontier, against
a background of conflict between farmers
and cattlemen, Oklahoma! perfectly integrates
song, dance and story to tell the tale of
farm girl Laurey and the two rivals for
her affections, happy go-lucky cowboy Curly
and the sinister farm hand Jud. Famously,
the show opens with 'Oh, What a Beautiful
Mornin' containing a rousing score such
as 'The Surrey with The Fringe on Top',
'People Will Say We're in Love', 'Many a
New Day', 'I Cain't Say No', and the final
rousing chorus of 'Oklahoma'. Featuring
Mark Evans, as Curley,
best known as the runner up in the BBC’s
Your Country Needs You, the search for a
singer to represent Britain in the Eurovision
song contest. Further star casting to be
announced. There
is a 2.30pm matinee on the Thursday and
Saturday. «
