“Hairspray, The Broadway Musical”, our highly anticipated summer production, opens on July 10th and tickets are available for purchase online and at SAAC. Sponsored by Murphy USA, this energetic and colorful show promises to transport audiences back to the lively 1960s, blending fun-filled nostalgia with meaningful themes of acceptance, societal progress, and the courage to be oneself.

Performances are scheduled for two exciting runs: the first from July 10-12 at 7:30pm, July 13 at 2:30pm, and a second from July 17-19 at 7:30pm, concluding with a final show on July 20 at 2:30pm. To celebrate opening night, attendees are invited to enjoy a complimentary champagne toast before the curtain rises on this exciting musical.

Director Hannah Faith Davis shared her enthusiasm for the production, stating, “I can’t wait to share SAAC’s production of ‘Hairspray’ with the community. It blends fun, 60’s colorful nostalgia with meaningful and important subject matter. The musical touches on racism, fat-phobia, and not fitting in—all while doing it in a light-hearted way. You’re bound to leave feeling uplifted, inspired, and smiling from ear to ear.” She added, “We have worked so hard to bring this fun, yet poignant, story to life, and I am so excited for South Arkansas to see it!”

“Hairspray”, licensed by MTI, features lively musical numbers and heartfelt storytelling that will delight audiences of all ages. Tickets are affordably priced at $10 for students, $15 for SAAC members, and $25 for the general public with reserved seating.
