A Night for Hairspray

Last night, Marg kindly took me to Rainbow Stage (Winnipeg's outdoor, domed theatre in Kildonan Park) for a performance of Hairspray, a musical-dance extravaganza.  The audience was taken back to Baltimore in the early 60s.   Themes like adolescence, being an outsider, love, and racial segregation were all successfully incorporated into the play.  I must say, however, that, as good as the show was, I prefer the musical comedies at Celebrations Dinner Theatre.  I'm really looking forward to this Friday's opening show of Corner Gassed II.
