Mercury Theatre Company presents Hairspray August 4-19, 2017 Mercury Theatre Company is marching to a whole new beat with the hit musical, Hairspray, August 4-19 at Notre Dame College. The Tony Award-winning Musical concludes Mercury’s 19th Season, which showcased Rodgers and Hammerstein’sCarousel, La Cage Aux Folles and Dreamworks’ Madagascar: A Musical Adventure. The 1950s are out and change is in the air! Hairspray, the family-friendly musical piled bouffant high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs, is bopping to the Mercury Theatre Company stage on August 4. When Tracy Turnblad wins a coveted spot on The Corny Collins Show, Baltimore‘s most popular teen dance program, the high school misfit with the big heart, big personality and big hair proves everyone wrong and becomes a local TV celebrity. It seems like Tracy will have it all: the eye of heartthrob Link Larkin, the Miss Teenage Hairspray crown, even a modeling gig with Mr. Pinky‘s Hefty Hideaway. But is segregated Baltimore ready to embrace her demand for racial integration? And will her larger-than-life mother ever leave the house? Under the direction of Pierre-Jacques Brault, and featuring a cast of 42, led by Eddie Carney (Edna), Brian Marshall (Wilbur), Jennifer Myor (Velma), and introducing Kaelan Vogt as Tracy, this larger-than-life musical about love and acceptance is ready to dance its way into audiences’ hearts. Rated PG. Spectacular Group rates are available for parties of 10 or more. Call 216-771-5862 for details.
