Hairspray – the multi award-winning Broadway hit musical is now playing at Sydney's Lyric Theatre.

Starring much-loved stage and screen performer Shane Jacobson as Edna Turnblad, Todd McKenney as Wilbur Turnblad, Rhonda Burchmore as Velma Von Tussle, Bobby Fox as Corny Collins, Asabi Goodman as Motormouth Maybelle and introducing Carmel Rodrigues as Tracy Turnblad.

Hairspray is the romantic comedy of a dance-loving teenage Tracy Turnblad who has one dream: to dance on The Corny Collins Show. When her dream becomes reality, big-haired Tracy falls in love and finds friends in unexpected ways.

Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Hairspray's story is more effective and pertinent than ever; and with the brilliant original creative team at the helm – director Jack O'Brien (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots) – this joyous new Australian production of Hairspray features the irrepressible feel-good songs "Good Morning, Baltimore", "Big, Blonde and Beautiful" and "You Can't Stop the Beat".

Welcome to the Sixties, Sydney! Don't miss the fabulous, funny and fantastic musical sensation – Hairspray
