Who's Who Behind the 'Do?
For anyone who wanted something bigger, there comes a time to break all the rules!
The 2007 musical movie with heart and soul.
It's the 1960's, mama!
Local Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad sets out to secure a spot on the local teen dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and prove she's big and beautiful! Along the way she overcomes adversity, fights segregation, and falls in love with teen heartthrob, Link Larkin!
Based on the 1988 feature film and Broadway musical, the 2007 version features the likes of Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, John Travolta, Zac Efron, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Christopher Walken. A hit with teens and parents, the film has introduced a whole new generation to beloved characters and proven that big is beautiful!
Now you can be your favorite Hairspray character for Halloween! Who will you choose?
