Time to let your hair down with the classic film "Hairspray" on Sunday 15th June at 16:00.
Bursting with energy, heart, and irresistible 60s flair, Hairspray (2007) is the must-see musical that will have you singing, dancing, and celebrating the power of being yourself. Set in Baltimore during the early 1960s, this colourful film follows Tracy Turnblad, a big-haired, big-dreaming teenager who proves that passion and positivity can change the world.
Directed by Adam Shankman and featuring a star-studded cast including John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Zac Efron, and breakout star Nikki Blonsky, Hairspray is based on the award-winning Broadway musical and the original 1988 cult classic by John Waters. With catchy tunes like “Good Morning Baltimore”, “Welcome to the 60s”, and the show-stopping “You Can’t Stop the Beat”, the film delivers non-stop entertainment with a powerful message at its core.
Tracy’s journey from outsider to local icon isn’t just about fame – it’s about challenging racial segregation, celebrating body positivity, and embracing the joy of difference. Her courage to stand up for what’s right transforms her community and inspires audiences to do the same.
With dazzling choreography, vibrant costumes, and a feel-good story that resonates across generations, Hairspray is more than just a film – it’s a celebration of unity, music, and self-expression.
Whether you're revisiting a favourite or discovering it for the first time, Hairspray is a timeless reminder that no dream is too big – and no hair too high!
