Hairspray - Tacoma Musical Playhouse

It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and teen Tracy Turnblad dreams of dancing on The Corny Collins Show. When she finally makes it on, her big hair and bigger heart take her from outsider to local star—and she uses her new fame to fight for integration on television. With catchy songs, high-energy dance numbers, and a whole lot of heart, Hairspray is a joyful celebration of acceptance, equality, and standing up for what’s right.

Show Starts at 2pm - Arrive 30 mins before (1:30pm) for seating and purchase of refreshments. Outside food and drink are discouraged.

The theater can be an overwhelming multi-sensory experience for many theater-goers. At TMP, we recognize that people of all neurotypes attend our performances, and we want to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience at our theater.

To continue our work towards inclusivity, we proudly offer Sensory Bags that can be checked out at the box office.
