Pure theatrical joy fills Wright State University’s fantastic production of Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan’s 2003 Tony Award-winning musical “Hairspray.”
Radiantly performed by one of the most strikingly synchronized ensembles WSU has assembled, this funny, provocative, tuneful and uplifting tale of race and tolerance in 1962 Baltimore, based on the 1988 John Waters film of the same name, totally magnetizes with a breathtaking energy that rivals the original Broadway production.
