THE box office for Bridgwater Amateur Operatic Society’s production of ‘Hairspray’ opened yesterday (Monday) – and you’ll need to hurry as tickets are already selling fast.

Made famous by the 2007 film, the Tony Award-winning and West End smash hit musical Hairspray brings to life the bubbly character of Tracy Turnblad and her love of dancing.

The pleasantly plump teenager dreams of becoming a star on the Corny Collins Dance Show and changing 1960s American Society’s attitude to racial segregation.

She just can’t keep her feet still and neither will you.

With an upbeat score of feel good songs, rhythm and blues and sixties tunes including ‘Good Morning Baltimore’ and ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat’, this show is a must see event.

The show is being staged at the town hall from April 21-25 and tickets costing from £10 to £16 are available from the box office on 01278-662181.
