Scarsdale Students To Perform in Hairspray at Tarrytown Music Hall

The Random Farms Kids Theater will present one of the first Westchester productions of Hairspray at The Tarrytown Music Hall from January 29 through February 6.

Hairspray, the recent hit-Broadway musical and film, delights audiences by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love without denting her ‘do’?

Hairspray, winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical, is more than just a toe-tapping musical extravaganza. It explores relevant social and historical themes such as the civil rights movement, social justice, self-acceptance, tolerance, human solidarity and political struggle.

The production is made up of over 130 young people who are divided into four casts with 15 students from Scarsdale. They come from throughout the tri-state area and have a wealth of theater, film and television experience. Included in the cast are Jolie Suchin, Justin Arnold, Rachel Bochner, Sarah Cammarata, Jenna Evans, Sydney Fodiman, Aerin Gelblum, Hannah Lewis, Sophia Roth, Matthew Seife, Megan Shelton, Caroline Stemerman, Rachel Underweiser, Julia White, and Danielle Cohen of Scarsdale.

The performances are 1/29 @ 7pm, 1/30 @ 1pm & 7pm, 1/31 @ 10am, 2/5 @ 2pm & 7:30pm and 2/6 @ 1pm & 7pm. The theater is located at 13 Main Street in Tarrytown. Directions can be found at www.tarrytownmusichall.org.
