Hide AdIt's 1962 Baltimore - the '50s are out and change is in the air. Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance programme, "The Corny Collins Show" and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the programme's reigning princess Amber von Tussle, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her “do”? Their songs take Tracy from the sound stage of a 60's-style dance show to the streets of Baltimore to a downtown rhythm and blues record shop.
With breathtaking choreography and toe-tapping songs such as “Welcome to the 60s”, “Mama I’m a big girl now!”, or “Big Blonde and Beautiful” to name but a few, this promises to be a highly enjoyable production.
The show runs on the 21, 22, and 23 April in the school assembly hall at 7.30am. Doors open at 7.00pm
Tickets cost 6 adult, 4 concession
