BELFAST
DON'T miss Hairspray Junior from July 6 to 8 at the Belvoir Players Studio: It's 1962 in Baltimore, Maryland, and quirky plus-sized teenager Tracy Turnblad has one dream: to dance on The Corny Collins Show.
When she gets put in detention with the African-American students in her school, they teach her some of their dance moves – and Tracy's new-found groove wins her a spot on Corny's show.
The bright, energetic story of Tracy Turnblad teaches us all to look past skin colour and fight for equal rights.
