Reviews"Irresistible . . . If life were everything it should be, it would be more like Hairspray . . . [It] succeeds in recreating the pleasures of the old-fashioned musical comedy without seeming old-fashioned." --Ben Brantley, The New York Times "Exhilaratingly funny and warmhearted . . . [Hairspray] triumphantly combines so many forms of theatre--drag revue, rock musical, R. & B. concert, social-protest play, tenderloin burlesque--that its conventional ideas soar above clichÉ, elevated by stunning professionalism and by gusts of love." --David Denby, The New Yorker "A big, beautiful bouffant of a musical . . . Hairspray has big bones but a small, sweet soul." --Marc Peyser, Newsweek "What's most refreshing about this show is its old-fashioned heart . . . A simple, solid core of warmth and goodwill gives Hairspray staying power." --Elysa Gardner, USA Today The lavishly illustrated book of the "big, beautiful bouffant of a musical that is on its way to becoming one of Broadway's all-time hits"--Marc Peyser, Newsweek
SynopsisIn "Hairspray, it's 1962--the fifties 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 program, "The Corny Collins Show, and overnight is transformed from an awkward overweight outsider into an irrespressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning blond princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her 'do? Only in "Hairspray! Based on John Waters's 1988 film, the musical comedy "Hairspray opened on Broadway in August 2002 to rave reviews. "Hairspray: The Roots includes the libretto of the show--along with hilarious anecdotes from the authors, to say nothing of dance step diagrams and full-color bouffant wigs to copy and cut out--along with all the creative energy, brilliant color, and full-out emotion that have made the musical "a great big, gorgeous hit . . . [that] is a triumph on all levels" (Clive Barnes, "The New York Post).
