Shackleford and Tate spoke about Hairspray: A Broadway Musical, which will be featured at The Ned from October 21 through October 23. The musical will be directed by Shackleford and choreographed by Tate.

About the musical: "The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs.

It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show.” When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network… all without denting her ‘do!"

Tune in to hear Shackleford and Tate speak about rehearsals for the musicals, the talented actors and what they hope theater-goers learn and take with them after seeing the musical.
