CARPENTER PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, LONG BEACH

Welcome to the ‘60s...

It’s the world of big dreams, big girls and big hair! This high-energy and uplifting show based on the now classic film won the 2003 Tony Award for Best Musical. Typical teenager Tracy Turnblad wants nothing more than to appear on Corny Collins’ dance show. When she gets her wish, she changes the face of 1960s Baltimore forever!
