About

'Pleasantly plump' teenager Tracy Turnblad achieves her dream of becoming a regular on the Corny Collins Dance Show. Now a teen hero, she starts using her fame to speak out for the causes she believes in, most of all integration. In doing so, she earns the wrath of the show's former star, Amber Von Tussle, as well as Amber's manipulative, pro-segregation parents. The rivalry comes to a head as Amber and Tracy vie for the title of Miss Auto Show 1963.
Tracy Turnblad trades her dream of dance floor stardom for a far more dangerous mission of social justice. This neon-soaked musical pulses with infectious energy and a defiant spirit that refuses to stay quiet.
