Power is immediately likable in her first song, “Good Morning Baltimore,” and ends strong with “You Can’t Stop the Beat.” Playing Tracy’s mother, Edna, is Chuck Caruso. In the role of Tracy Turnblad is Megan Power. The production of Hairspray at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre is everything a summer musical should be: big, bright and lively with a strong and energetic cast. Hairspray opened on Broadway in 2002, and won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Once Tracy earns a role on the Corny Collins Show, she meets a variety of characters, and launches a campaign to integrate the dance show. Hairspray takes place in the 1960s, and revolves around one teenager, Tracy Turnblad, whose dream is to dance on a local TV dance program, The Corny Collins Show. Marc Shaiman wrote the music for the musical, and Scott Wittman and Shaiman wrote the lyrics.
Hairspray is based on the 1988 John Waters’s film of the same name. Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre magnificently brings this charming musical to life on their stage.
Hairspray is a lot of fun, and takes audiences back to the optimism and cultural change of the 60s. The show, which takes place in Baltimore in 1962, is not only dynamic, but the show also reminds the audience about the events of the 60s, especially the Civil Rights Movement. Hairspray is the latest show to grace the stage at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre.
