Hairspray tickets - about this event

For a very limited period until January 31, 2010, Hairspray stars Never Mind the Buzzcocks comedian Phill Jupitus as you’ve never seen him before and pop legend Belinda Carlisle as the vain villainess Velma Von Tussle. And to top off the starry line up is TV and stage superstar Sharon D Clarke. On February 2, Brian Conley returns to his role in the show as Tracy’s voluptuous mother.

Phill stars as larger than life heroine Edna Turnblad, who must help her big-haired, big-hearted daughter Tracy fulfil her destiny.... If she can just leave the family apartment. Belinda plays Velma Von Tussle, glamorous white supremacist and controller of the local TV station, who is out to thwart Tracy’s plans, and Sharon is Motormouth Mabel, celebrity DJ and owner of Baltimore’s biggest set of lungs!
