Back at Ffwrnes, Hairspray, the musical, is being staged by The Academy from September 25 to 27.
The West End’s favourite musical comedy is being performed in a radically new way.
Hairspray tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, as she sets out to follow her extraordinary dreams, inspire her mum and win the boy she loves. It is the musical with everything – the ultimate feel-good show which has played to sold-out houses in London, on Broadway and in theatres around the globe.
From October 22 to 24, SA15 Stage School will be staging the musical 13 at Stiwdio Stepni at Ffwrnes.
This is a new musical from Jason Robert Brown, featuring a cast and band made up entirely of teenagers.
