The Portsmouth Players are bringing a taste of the West End to the King’s Theatre, Southsea in February with a production of Hairspray, starring West End star and Portsmouth native, Jack Edwards.
Hairspray is the story of teenager Tracy, whose dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show, a local TV dance programme. She manages this and becomes an overnight sensation, meeting a variety of colourful characters on the way.
As well as being a fun and energetic show, it’s also a powerful commentary on the social injustices faced by minorities in 1960s America as well as society’s attitude to the overweight.
