Specialist School in the Performing Arts lets its hair down and dance the night away as Cockburn School presents Hairspray the Musical
Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Original Score, Hairspray gets Cockburn School in South Leeds to its feet, aerosol-style.
You’ll tap your feet to the beat as Tracy Turnblad and friends triumph over high school bullies, racism and enemies everywhere of big girls with big hair. With music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, and book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, viewers young and old will be shimmying in their seats as they enjoy hit favourites such as “I Can Hear The Bells,” and “You Can’t Stop The Beat.” It’s hair-hopping family fun in dazzling colour and style.
The show is performed by an amazing cast of students aged between 11 and 16.
Curtain up is at 7.15 each night, Tuesday 8 – Friday 11 December 2015 plus there is a matinee performance for local primary schools at 1pm on Wednesday 9 December.
