The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, makes its way to the Weathervane stage June 8 through July 2.  This family-friendly musical is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. 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.
