Meridian Little Theatre Presents HAIRSPRAY, 5/12-5/18

Meridian Little Theatre will finish its 2010-2011 season with a production of HAIRSPRAY. The Broadway hit will run from Thursday, May 12, to Wednesday, May 18, with an open dress rehearsal on Wednesday, May 11.

HAIRSPRAY delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?

Online tickets, available on www.meridianlittletheatre.com, will go on sale on Wednesday, April 13. Meridian Little Theatre is located at 4334 Highway 39 N, Meridian, MS 39301. Visit www.meridianlittletheatre.com for more information.
