BACKGROUND: Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs. It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show.” When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network… all without denting her ‘do! Boundaries of race and body size are about to get a big jolt!!
Requirements:
Sing best 16 bars of Broadway song, or popular song from the 60’s. Must have sheet music. Accompanist provided.
Come prepared with monologue or scene from your desired role.
Dance: Be prepared to learn a group dance. Come in appropriate dance clothing and jazz shoes or soft shoes.
Auditionees will be required to fill out an audition form at online sign-in, including previous theatre experience, conflicts during the rehearsal period, and contact information.
  Rehearsal/Workday commitment will include 3 weeknights per week starting June 27-Aug 10 for principals (3x a week in evenings), unless you are in the three week day camp for non principal role characters on July 24-Aug 11.  All must guarantee no conflicts in final rehearsal period (Aug 7-11) and ALL performances.
 Auditionees are encouraged to enroll in Hairspray drama music theatre camp July 21-Aug 11, whose meetings are from 9am-4pm with the assistant director, dance choreographer, music director and set designer of this production. Have fun AND get all the joys of summer included for children and teenagers only.
