In 1962 Baltimore, all the kids watch the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager with all the right moves, and her best friend Penny run home to watch and drool over teenage heartthrob Link Larkin. When one of the "Council Kids" goes on a leave of absence, Tracy auditions to be the replacement, is sent to detention for skipping school, and thereby meets Seaweed--who shows her how to really shake 'em down. Helped by Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, and her parents, Tracy sets out to integrate the show ... without denting her 'do!

Based on the 1988 screenplay "Hairspray" written by John Waters and the 2002 musical stage play "Hairspray" book by Mark O'Donnell, Thomas Meehan [with] music by Marc Shaiman [and] lyrics by Scott Wittman, Marc Shaiman.
