Drama Geek Studios is proud to bring to the stage of The Historic Crescent Theater, Hairspray, The Broadway Musical! Book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman based off of the cult classic movie by John Waters.

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!

When asked why Drama Geek Studios chose to do Hairspray the Broadway Musical this summer co-Music Directors Sam Garcia  and Jon Lindeblad had this to say; “We think it is a very relevant show for the times that we live in with our current social climate and it’s a show that the audience can enjoy and escape for a few hours because it has toe tapping songs and show stopping dances that will grab your attention immediately!”

Producer and costumer Kayla D’Angelo added, “It has been a pleasure to work with such talented, like minded individuals. This show has attracted performers from so many walks of life and locales, it’s amazing!” This show contains performers from ages 8 to 45 years old with varying degrees of experience from Sussex, Morris, Bergen and Passaic Counties. The Historic Crescent Theater is a non-profit organization and is available for rental.
