Hairspray The Musical at The Bristol Hippodrome
Hairspray The Musical at The Bristol Hippodrome on from Mon 22 Nov - Sat 27 Nov 2021. Shows are each evening at 7.30pm with additional matinee performances on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
The international musical phenomenon Hairspray returns to Bristol this year! After breaking box office records and delighting audiences in the West-End, on Broadway and on the big screen since 1988, this smash hit musical-comedy has quite the legacy, and now we’re heading back out on tour around the UK and Ireland in 2021.
You can’t stop OUR beat- HAIRSPRAY is BACK ON TOUR - so run and tell that!
Welcome to the 60s, where everyone’s grooving to a brand-new sound! Enter our vivacious heroine Tracy Turnblad, who has big hair, a big heart, and big dreams to dance her way onto national TV, and into the heart of teen idol Link Larkin. When Tracy becomes a local star, she is able to use her newfound fame to fight for liberation, tolerance, and interracial unity in Baltimore. But can she win equality – and Link’s heart – without denting her ’do?
Starring Brenda Edwards as Motormouth Maybelle and Norman Pace as Wilbur Turnblad.
"Wonderfully fresh and vivid"
