You can’t stop the beat of this 2003 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical, featuring 1960s-style music and based on the 1988 John Waters film. The year is 1962, and plump, big-haired teenager Tracy Turnblad dreams of dancing on the local teenage TV dance program. When she learns a few dance moves from her black friend Seaweed, her wish comes true and she becomes an instant local celebrity. Using her new-found fame, Tracy advocates for racial integration on the show—an uphill battle she has every intention of winning. boltonconservatory.com
