The musical is set in 1962 Baltimore and takes on the issues of self-image and racial integration through the characters of Tracy Turnblad, her mother Edna, Tracy’s high school friends and the cast of a popular TV dance show. The show is based on John Waters’ 1988 film of the same name.

Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door, $5 for senior citizens and free for RHS students with ID. Advance tickets may be purchased at brownpapertickets.com.
