ABOUT IMAGES  
HairsprayJohn Waters' marvellously mad 1960s coming-of-age tale has been brought to the stage of the Shaftesbury Theatre in a production that is fresh, funny and a vast improvement on the recent John Travolta movie based on the same script. Hairspray is the tale of an unfashionably large girl who finds fame and romance on a TV talent show and manages to take on racial segregation while doing so. The mixture of ironic tackiness and ecstatically enthusiastic dance routines make it almost impossible not to leave the theatre with a huge grin on your face, while the occasional appearance of the nastier satirical moments from the film give a genuine edge to this shamelessly sentimental story. Huge beehive hairdos, enormous actors and a vast sense of fun all add up to a sparkling musical that more than deserves its many awards.
