Hairspray the Musical, You Can't Stop The Beat!

The Voorhees Theatre Company (VTC) will present the feel-good musical Hairspray, Aug. 9-11, at Voorhees
Middle School.

You can’t stop the beat in this big and bold musical about one girl’s inspiring dream to dance.

The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including

Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and

deliriously tuneful songs.

It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to

dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show.” When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed

from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning

Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network… all

without denting her ‘do!

Hairspray performs Aug. 9, 10, & 11, at 7:30 p.m. Reserved seating tickets are $15 and are

available at www.voorheestheatre.org. Voorhees Middle School is located at 1000 Holly Oak

Drive in Voorhees.
