Hairspray is a musical we Salopians have become well acquainted with in the last few years, with numerous productions visiting our theatres.

Curtain Call's version of the Broadway and West End hit brings the light and life of the 1960s back to the stage in an engaging and exciting way, revitalising the show we know almost too well!

A Curtain Call production is so often a hit, with director & choreographer Benjamin Connor managing to outdo himself with every new show; with every performance, even. 
The young cast display a maturity and stage presence that is hard to master, so they are to be commended for doing so.

With vibrant costumes, set and lighting adding to the fantastic direction and choreography, this show is definitely one to catch. Shrewsbury knows this, of course - that’s why all six performances have sold out.

If you're one of the lucky few with a ticket - enjoy. If you’re not, be sure to get on the waiting list - or at least book your seat for the next Curtain Call production, which is sure to be every bit as charming and fun as this one.
