Kilcoole students’ musical brings them back to 1962
COLÁISTE CRAOBH ABHANN will present the musical ‘Hairspray’ at Mermaid Arts Centre from Wednesday, March 6, to Friday, March 8, at 8 p.m. each night.
It’s 1962 and teenagers Tracy Turnblad and her friend Penny Pingleton are avid Corny Collins fans. When the chance to dance on the show is publicised, Tracy jumps on the opportunity. Not only do her dancing skills attract Corny Collins, but also the attention of teen heartthrob Link Larkin. But not everyone is happy with Tracy’s joining the show. The show’s manager, Velma von Tussle, will do anything to oust Tracy, even if it has to include Tracy’s friends Seaweed and Motormouth.
Tickets for the musical are €15 at mermaidartscentre.ie.
