HAIRSPRAY . . . AND NEW MAN
TEENAGER Tracy Turnblad brings the musical Hairspray to a close with You Can’t Stop The Beat — a hymn to the power of dance. Shirley is no stranger to the combination of dance and a romantic whirlwind — it took just a few seconds for her new dance partner, Sammy Stopford, to win Shirley away from Nigel Tiffany. They became dance champions — and married in 1980. Later, Shirley fell under the spell of Texan businessman Corky Ballas. Their marriage did not last but they have remained friends.
