Hairspray, the smash hit musical comedy, is now playing in London's West End. With standing ovations every night and unanimous critical acclaim, the show has broken box office records at the Shaftesbury Theatre! This 'feel great show' (Guardian), has recently been awarded Best Musical in the Olivier Awards 2008, the Critics Circle Awards 2008 and the Evening Standard Theatre Awards 2007.

Follow Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart as she sets out to dance her way onto TV's most popular dance show. Can this ordinary girl realise her extraordinary dreams, inspire her mum and still have time to win the boy she loves?  

Hairspray welcomes Brian Conley as larger-than-life Edna Turnblad!

Brian is joined by Chloe Hart taking over as big-haired, big-hearted Tracy Turnblad in her West End debut, and Wicked's Liam Tamne as heartthrob Link Larkin. Brian Conley is one of the UK's biggest entertainment stars with credits spanning musicals, television, film, comedy and variety, including lead roles in hit musicals Me & My Girl, Jolson and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Nigel Planer and Verity Rushworth continue in the roles of Wilbur Turnblad and Penny Pingleton.  

Don't miss this exciting new line up for London's happiest, funniest, sunniest show!
