The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! "Hairspray," winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs.
It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular "Corny Collins Show." When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her 'do!
Hairspray is ideal for a large cast of strong singers and dancers. It provides great opportunities in terms of set design, costuming and lighting choices.

In "Groovy" you’ll celebrate the hippies and flower children of the 1960s.  Travis, Muriel, and Alice decide to throw a free Music, Beads, and Flowers Celebration.  A popular singing group, the Lemon Bugs, love the idea and donate their talent.  In no time, crazily-painted busses start arriving at Crumb’s Apple Farm, the site of the festival.  Everything is going nicely until Mrs. Porter, who hates ’The Love Generation,’ shows up and demands that the local police close it down.  If this wasn’t bad enough, two music promoters offer the Lemon Bugs a deal they can’t refuse if they will skip the celebration.  Your audiences will love the wildly funny characters like California Cowabunga, who can surf on dry land, Hippie Girl With Flute, who thinks she’s the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and a London fashion designer who plans to release a line of Flower Power clothing.  Although the hippies might wear buttons that say ’Never Trust Anyone Over Thirty,’ their hearts are in the right place and the celebration triumphs.  Great ’60s style songs include:  ’Anything is Possible,’ ’Lemon Bugs in a Lemon Air-o-plane,’ ’Brothers and Sisters’ and naturally, ’Groovy!’ It’s fast!  It’s funky!  And it’s groovy, all right.  In fact, it’s the best celebration in town.
