Michael Ball makes a welcome return to the capital as he reprises his Olivier Award-winning role as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray: the Musical which now arrives triumphantly back onto the West End stage at the London Coliseum where the huge-hearted, smash-hit musical will play a strictly limited season from June 2021.
The scene is set in Baltimore, 1962 where young Tracy Turnblad is a big girl with both big hair as well as big dreams. Is it possible she can she make it big on the local TV dance show, capture the heart of Link Larkin, the local teen heartthrob and bring everyone together – whatever their size, colour or hairdo? Sometimes, if you want a change things, you really do have to shake things up properly!
Brought back to London by the original and award-winning team of director Jack O’Brien along with choreographer Jerry Mitchell, and packed full of infectiously feel-good songs including 'Big, Blonde and Beautiful', 'Good Morning Baltimore' and 'You Can’t Stop the Beat' this inspirational, fabulously uplifting and fun loving musical is back in town, and bigger than ever…but for just 12 weeks only so don’t miss out – book now!
