If you have NOT seen Hairspray, you really should. Based on the hit movie of the same name by John Waters (1988), the musical is a rollicking combo of great old (50s and 60s) and new songs, dance, social commentary (integration, or lack of, in Baltimore in the early 60s)and generally just a good time.The play is pretty true to the original story line (I saw the play first) from the movie, which was good to see - so see one or the other first, depending on your preference.

Tickets are now available through TicketMaster or 1-619-220-TIXS, or the Civic Theatre Box Office at 1-619-570-1100. ($20 - $72).
