"Hairspray" is coming to San Francisco in April

BroadwaySF recently announced the cast for the upcoming run of "Hairspray" at the Orpheum Theatre, bringing an ensemble of veteran performers (and a giant can of hairspray, of course) to the stage to welcome us to the '60s.

What they're saying: "It's a brand-new world we find ourselves in today, and 'Hairspray' is even more relevant than twenty years ago when it first burst onto the scene," "Hairspray" director Jack O'Brien said in a written statement.
