You can't stop the beat - Hairspray is back on tour!

Starring Hull panto favourite Neil Hurst as Edna Turnblad and Strictly Come Dancing's Joanne Clifton (Shrek the Musical, The Addams Family) as the fierce yet fabulous Velma von Tussle. Making her directorial debut is Hairspray royalty Brenda Edwards (Hairspray, We Will Rock You) who will bring new energy and excitement this time from behind the scenes.

Featuring some of musical theatre's biggest and best hit songs, including 'Welcome to the 60s', 'You Can't Stop the Beat', 'Good Morning Baltimore' and so many more. Hairspray is the hilarious, joyous, and inspiring musical for all!

Enter big hearted Tracy Turnblad and her friends as they dance their way into history in their quest to fight intolerance and racism.

From the spirited Seaweed and his sister Little Inez to the charming Link Larkin and the resolute Motormouth Maybelle, witness a cast of characters who refuse to be silenced in the face of prejudice and discrimination, instead gaining acceptance and equality.

This fun-filled, feel-good show is bursting with show-stopping numbers and dizzying dance routines that you can't help not to shimmy too!
