The Road Company presents "Hairspray"

originally published: 04/28/2025

(WILLIAMSTOWN, NJ) -- The Road Company presents Hairspray from April 24 through May 10, 2025. You can’t stop the beat in this big and bold musical about one girl's inspiring dream to dance.

It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show.” When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her ‘do!

Featuring Music by Marc Shaiman; Lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman; and Book by Thomas Meehan, Mark O’Donnell.

Performances take place Thursdays at 7:30pm; Fridays at 8:00pm; Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online.  Performances take place at the Grand Theatre (405 S. Main Street) in Williamstown, New Jersey.
