Hairspray Theatre Breaks

Hairspray is the hilarious musical currently playing to packed houses in the West End, so last minute tickets are not always easy to get hold of, but at the moment there are some great deals on theatre breaks packages to see the show and stay in a top London hotel afterwards. Hairspray has become a huge hit, it’s won oodles of awards and was made into film with John Travolta as Edna, (the Mum).

The Hairspray Story

Hairspray is based on an original 1988 John Walters film which starred Divine and Ricki Lake. It became a cult classic film, the musical version has been running on Broadway since 2002 and now it’s one of the most popular choices for theatre breaks in London. Don’t worry though, despite a cross dressing lead, hilariously played by Michael Ball, it’s a family show.

Here’s Michael playing Edna. You can see he’s not playing her as drag, he makes her come across as a real woman.

Hairspray is set in Baltimore in 1962. It’s the story of Tracy Turnblad, a fat but beautiful girl with really big hair . She wins a spot on a local TV dance programme becomes a teen icon. But will she be able to change the world and win the boy she loves?

The audience for Hairspray?

Who’s it for? Ideal for anyone who likes a laugh really! The music is very 60s and bubbly. It might not seem obviously romantic but trust me there’s nothing more intimate than laughing till you cry with someone
I also think Hairspray theatre breaks would be great for a ‘girls’ weekend. A relaxing train ride, hit the London shops, and a great, girly night out, hopefully with less of a hangover than the last girls’ weekend I went to! It really is better to book a whole package when you are organising London theatre breaks like this because it just makes life so much easier and it’s often cheaper too! Plus which there are some other great things you can book at the same time and save even more.
