Hairspray Programme CLOTHING FOR * MEN * * WOMEN * * CHILDREN * 2 Chequers Court Huntingdon 01480 459009 6 High St St Neots 01480 215642 When we were first granted performing rights to Hair- spray, back in March 2009, a tingle of excitement ran through the team. Following the cast trip to the West End to see the show this quickly changed to nervous fear! Although to the outsider Hairspray appears to be a happy, fun loving show it soon became apparent that be- hind all the hilarity were some seriously difficult vocals, demanding dance routines and challenging characterisa- tions. In addition, a West End style set needed to be con- structed from scratch, 1950’s & 60’s costumes had to be sourced and beehive hairdo’s had to be created! With over 1.7 million people having now seen the show in the West End it was important to me to remain as true to the London show as possible. So in September 2009 the Spotlight cast embarked on a gruelling rehearsal schedule, challenging them in more ways than any other previous show. Being true professionals, they all stepped up to the mark and I know you will be astounded with the energy and commitment they put in to this performance. It would be remiss of me not to mention the rest of the Production team, too many to be named individually, who have supported me in delivering my vision and with- out their help this production would not have been possible. So, sit back, relax and be transported to 1960’s Baltimore, where our cast are ready to give you an unforgettable evenings entertainment. Graham Wilkinson Spotlight Costume & Set Hire We now have over 14,000 theatrical, period, panto- mime & fancy dress costumes available for hire, to- gether with evening/prom dresses , all at very rea- sonable rates. These can be viewed at our barn in Abbots Ripton by appointment. We will also post them anywhere within the UK. Many are from the West End and BBC and have featured in our past shows including Grease (1950's), A Whitechapel Tale (Victorian), Bugsy Malone (1920's), Disco Inferno (1970’s), 42nd Street (1930’s), Back to the 80’s (1980’s) and Hairspray (1950’s) and include period hats, bags, shoes/boots and jewellery. We have many other costumes that would work for plays and shows set in all historical periods. So whether it's for a theatrical production, a special party/prom, or for Fancy Dress, please contact us for more information or visit our website. Additionally we are always happy to hire full sets or pieces of scenery for your theatrical productions. Tel: 01480 450948 Email: [email protected] : www.spotlight-costumes.co.uk Hairspray opens in June 1962, as plus sized teenager Tracy Turnblad wakes up ready for another day “Good Morning Baltimore”. After school, she and best friend, Penny Pingleton, watch The Corny Collins Show, starring “The Nicest Kids in Town”. While Tracy and Penny sigh over handsome Link Larkin, Tracy’s mother, Edna, slaves away at her ironing board. Penny’s mother, Prudy Pingleton, expresses her disap- proval of teenagers dancing to “coloured music”. Edna points out that it “ain’t coloured, the TV’s black and white!” In the studio, show producer, Velma Von Tussle, instructs her teen-queen daughter and Link’s girlfriend, Amber, to hog the camera, while berating Corny, the host, about including songs with “that Detroit sound”. She reminds him that they have to steer the kids “in the white direc- tion”. On air, Corny announces auditions for an opening on the show, as well as the national broadcast of the forthcoming “Miss Teenage Hairspray 1962” contest. Tracy wants to audition for the show. Edna is sceptical, fearing Tracy’s size will lead to rejec- tion, but her father, Wilbur (owner of the Har-de-Har Hut Joke Shop), tells Tracy to follow her dream. While Edna tells Tracy to forget about going to the audition, Velma and Prudy argue with their daughters, Amber and Penny. The girls stubbornly resist their mothers, declaring “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now”. Making their own decision, Tracy and Penny race into the WZZT studios just as the auditions are ending. Tracy sees Link and swoons “I Can Hear the Bells.” Velma rejects Tracy, sneering at her weight and lamenting that times certainly have changed since she was crowned “Miss Baltimore Crabs”. At school, Tracy’s hairdo lands her in detention, where she befriends Seaweed J. Stubbs, the son of Motormouth Maybelle (the host of once-a-month “Negro Day” on The Corny Collins Show.) At a school dance, Tracy catches Corny’s eye while doing steps she learned from Sea- weed. The next day, an astonished Edna and Wilbur see Tracy on TV, the newest member of the Corny Collins Council. Link sings the latest hit, “It Takes Two”, dedicating it to Tracy, now an overnight sensation. After her mother forgives her, Tracy takes Edna out on the town for a fashion makeover (“Welcome to the ’60s”). During a rough scatter dodgeball game, Amber knocks out her rival, Tracy. To cheer her up, Seaweed invites Tracy, Link and Penny (who has an immediate crush on him) to his mother’s record shop (“Run and Tell That”). Motormouth Maybelle welcomes them warmly; Tracy won- ders why they can’t all dance together on the show and plans to lead a protest during “Mother- Daughter Day.” Link rejects the idea, fearing it will hurt his chance to be on national TV. He leaves a heartbroken Tracy to go back to Amber. Edna is dubious about joining the protest. She is self-conscious about her weight, but Motor- mouth persuades her to accept herself — after all, they’re both “Big, Blonde & Beautiful”. The demonstration turns into a riot; the police arrive and drag Tracy and all the women off to jail. Act Two opens in the women’s house of detention, “The Big Dollhouse”. Everyone is released on bail, except Tracy, who is moved to solitary confinement. Wilbur comforts a downcast Edna (“Timeless to Me”). Meanwhile, Link realises his love for Tracy and breaks her out of jail (using a blowtorch improvised with a lighter and a can of hairspray), and Seaweed rescues Penny from her mother’s clutches (“Without Love”). The four flee to Motormouth’s record shop. She reminds them that the fight against injustice is neverending (“I Know Where I’ve Been”). The next day, Corny’s prime-time show is in full swing and ready to announce the winner of “Miss Teenage Hairspray 1962” (“Hairspray”). Amber and Tracy are finalists for the title of “Miss Teenage Hairspray 1962”. Amber performs a dance she dedicates to the absent Tracy (“Cooties”). Just as it looks like Amber has won the crown, Tracy bursts in from the audience to claim victory and perform a dance that’s dedicated to everyone. They all dance together; black and white, fat and thin, young and old, as Tracy leads the com- pany in declaring “You Can’t Stop the Beat.” Rebecca Olaofe Motormouth Mabelle Hairspray is my first Spotlight perform- Kath Wyatt ance and my debut on stage!

  • 42Nd St Synopsis Characters
    42nd St Synopsis One of showbusiness's most classic and beloved tales, 42nd Street tells the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes who gets her big break on Broadway. Peggy arrives in New York City from her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, armed with her tap shoes, her lucky yellow scarf and big dreams. Peggy’s talent catches the eye of legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh, who gives her a spot in the chorus of Pretty Lady, his newest show. Pretty Lady stars Dorothy Brock, the classic Broadway diva, who takes an instant dislike to the new girl in the cast. When Dorothy is injured during the show’s previews, Pretty Lady looks like it will have to close, unless a new girl talented enough to lead the show can be found — someone like Peggy Sawyer! Characters Age requirements are approximate, however the dance ensemble must look young. PEGGY SAWYER A young, starry-eyed, naïve, and humble chorus girl who assumes the Lead role in Pretty Lady when Dorothy breaks her ankle. She is the triple threat in the show - must sing, act, and dance (tap) very well. Alto-mezzo soprano: should belt and be able to easily transition to head voice. Age: 17-25 (must look young - character is referred to as ‘21’) DOROTHY BROCK A past-her-prime and well-known, Broadway diva. She is supposed to be the female lead in Pretty Lady because she is dating Abner who is paying for the show. While very selfish and mean to everyone at first, she comes to understand what’s really important in life after breaking her ankle and therefore unable to perform.
