Touring UK musical about Tracy Turnblad's quest to make it on national television and her campaign for integration in 1960s Baltimore.
Hairspray opens at Milton Keynes Theatre on Monday 4 October 2027, and it's not just a one-night thing — the production runs through to Saturday 9 October, so you've got a few different dates to choose from if the opening night doesn't suit.
Set in Baltimore in 1962, the story follows Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger dream: to dance her way onto national television and into the heart of teen idol Link Larkin. Her audition makes her a local star, and she soon turns her new-found fame into a campaign for integration. It's a well-known musical theatre production that's toured across the UK, and it's built around the kind of music and dance you'd expect from a West End show. You'll recognise the big numbers, too — 'Welcome To The 60s', 'You Can't Stop The Beat' and 'The Nicest Kids in Town' are all in there.
