MIDLAND — Get ready for laughter, romance and hair piled bouffant-high as the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center presents “Hairspray: The Broadway Musical.”

The popular, high-energy, family friendly musical opens May 1.

Part of the 2025-2026 Clearview Federal Credit Union Subscription Series, “Hairspray” runs  May 1-3 and May 8-10.

Following the storyline of a beloved movie and the Broadway musical, which won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Lincoln Park’s production includes all the deliriously tuneful songs.

Set in 1962 Baltimore, the musical follows the irrepressible Tracy Turnblad, a teenager with big hair, a big heart, and even bigger dreams. When Tracy lands a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show,” she uses her newfound
platform to challenge the segregation that divides her city.

Packed with unforgettable songs, infectious choreography, and plenty of heart, “Hairspray” reminds us that progress often begins with someone brave enough to step forward and say, “You can’t stop the beat.”

Justin Fortunato, producing artistic director for Lincoln Park, said, “‘Hairspray’ is a joyful, high-energy celebration of individuality, courage, and the power of young
people to change the world. This exceptional cast, along with the creative team of director Brady Patsy, choreographer Amber Ardolino and music director Kathleen Billie, are creating a can’t miss experience. Tickets are selling very quickly, get yours today!”
