Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center (Redondo Beach, CA)
“You Can’t Stop the Beat” when plus-sized dreamer Tracy Turnblad starts dancing on a popular local TV show, in this upbeat, uplifting production of the hit Broadway show. Transforming herself from a shunned outsider to a true teen celebrity, the plucky heroine then sets out to triumph over both snotty teen queens and racial segregation. Set in 1962 Baltimore and based on the movie by John Waters, Hairspray won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score, for such hit songs as “Welcome to the ’60s” and “Good Morning Baltimore.” And then it was turned back into a popular 2007 movie, starring John Travolta and Nikki Blonsky. But there’s nothing like seeing the Mark Shaiman-scored musical live on stage.
