​Bartlett High School’s Panther Playhouse presents Hairspray by Mark O’Connell and Thomas Meehan with music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. This production runs March 26th-April 4th at Bartlett High School. 
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!
