Students in Florida Rep Education Theatre Conservatory production are knocking
it out of the park in HAIRSPRAY! These “nicest kids in town” hit the stage again
this weekend and you simply must join us for this family-friendly musical, piled
with bouffant-high hair, romance, a reflection on societal change in the ’60s, and
deliriously tuneful songs! The cast is wildly talented and delighting audiences
with power vocals, and fun choreography that will have you swaying in your seat.
Performances continue Friday, May 23 through Sunday, May 25.

Florida Rep Education’s production of HAIRSPRAY is directed by Monique
Caldwell, choreographed by Megan Leonard, with music direction by Rosalind
Metcalf, and sponsored by Lynne Birdt and Florida Theatrical Association
