Editor's note

Hairspray, a musical about dancing and integration

A Broadway show that follows a Baltimore teenager's dream to dance on TV in the 1960s.

If you want the show's tone, 'Good Morning Baltimore' sets it up perfectly. For the social side, 'Run and Tell That' gets right to it.

The musical tackles racial integration and body positivity through its story and songs, which isn't typical for a feel-good theater piece. Numbers like 'Good Morning Baltimore' and 'Run and Tell That' give the show its energetic spirit while carrying those social themes. It's been performed internationally and inspired a film, but still shows up in regional theaters and school productions.

Hairspray started as a Broadway show in 2002. The story follows Tracy Turnblad, a teenager in 1960s Baltimore who wants to dance on a local TV program. Songs like 'Without Love' and 'I Can Wait' explore relationships and personal growth within that setting.
