Description
The 2002 musical based on John Waters's 1988 film is undeniably infectious, thanks to Marc Shaiman's ridiculously catchy, sugar-sweet score and the campily uplifting story: Indefatigable big girl Tracy Turnblad integrates a teen dance show in early-'60s Baltimore. Director Marc Robin's production emphasizes and even enhances most of the show's inherent pleasures, thanks largely to a cast of all-stars that well executes his bopping choreography. The weak spot is Ross Lehman, in fat-suited drag as mom Edna; his take is too naturalistic and far too small for a part that's meant to be literally larger than life.—KVWhen
Wed 1pm, 8pm , Thu–Fri 8pm , Sat 4:30pm, 8pm , Sun 1pm, 5pm Ongoing through Dec 6.
