hairspray Manila, Nov 15, 2008 (Saturday), 8 pm

Atlantis Productions, the same company that brought you Rent, Avenue Q and Cinderella, now brings the BIG FAT Broadway Musical Hit live on stage!


A winner of 8 Tony Awards including BEST MUSICAL, Hairspray is set to stage in Manila, following a hugely successful run in Broadway and London's West End.


Based on the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters, with a book by Mark O'Donnel and Thomas Meehan, music by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, Hairspray follows the fortunes, or misfortunes, of the heavy-set Tracy Turnblad, who is determined to become a star dancer on the Corny Collins TV pop show.

In 2007, Hairspray was remade into a musical film starring John Travolta as Edna Turnblad, Michelle Pfeiffer as Velma Von Tussle, Queen Latifah as "Motormouth" Maybelle and introducing Nikki Blonsky as the pleasantly plump teenager Tracy Turnblad.
