Thursday (December 6) in Baltimore at Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. The 1988
film was set in Baltimore, directed by the city's fave bad boy, John Waters.
Wanted are male and female singers, ages 15-25, all ethnicities; an African
American girl who sings; and for the female lead, a zaftig girl who sings,
dances and acts. Call 410-625-4230

For those not familiar with HAIRSPRAY, this is not a show that requires
"legit" voices. It's pop music with an early 1960s feel.
