Marissa Jaret Winokur as Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray |
She will begin performances in the week of July 13th for four weeks.
Winokur earned great acclaim for her performance winning the 2003 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and a Theatre World Award.
In Hairspray it's 1962 - the '50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore's Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her 'do? Only in Hairspray! Welcome to the '60s!
