Music, mirth, mayhem and murder are rampant at a remote lodge in rural Saskatchewan in this uproarious romp. The Last Resort is where you want to be, especially if you have a secret. Everyone has something to hide in this madcap mystery - a restaurateur on the run from the mob, a carpet salesman killing more than time, a poet seeking inspiration (and a shallow affair) and twins battling over daddy's will.

Book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan Music and Lyrics by Marc Shaiman Lyrics by Scott Wittman Hairspray delights audiences by sweeping them away to 1960s Baltimore, where the 50s are out and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair? Hairspray first opened on Broadway on 18th July 2002, and played for a fabulous 6 1/2 years, until January 2009. Hairspray is now a global phenomenon, with productions all round the world. A Canadian production opened at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, Ontario in May 2004 and ran for over 250 performances.
