Arlington Hts school puts on 'Hairspray' Feb. 18-19
'Hairspray,' the Broadway musical comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture, is coming to Arlington Heights as a South Middle School production this weekend.
Be swept away to 1960s Baltimore in this smash-hit musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance – and enough deliriously tuneful songs to fill a nonstop dance party.
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 outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity.
But can a plus-size trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her 'do? Only in Hairspray! Welcome to the '60s!
Performances will be at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18, and 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19. Tickets are $8 and are available in advance.
Tickets for all performances are on sale at South Middle School, 400 S. Highland, Arlington Heights. Call the office at (847) 398-4250 for details.
It's an evening of fun that you won't soon forget. Order your tickets now!
