Published by Rob Bushnell (A0.752330).The 2002 musical and 2007 film Hairspray tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a dance-loving teenager, who auditions for a spot on The Corny Collins Show. Set in 1960s Baltimore, Tracy finally wins a role on the show, becoming a celebrity overnight, meets a host of new people, all leading to social change as she campaigns for the show's integration.
The final number from Hairspray, "You Can't Stop the Beat" is sung by all of the main character (Tracy Turnblad, Link Larkin, Penny Pingleton, Seaweed Stubbs, Edna Turnblad, Motormouth Maybelle, Velma Von Tussle and Amber Von Tussle with Corny Collins and Wilbur Turnblad as backing singers). Paying tribute to the 1966 Ike and Tina Turner hit "River Deep – Mountain High", the song covers a range of themes concerning change and progression, notably sizeism and racism.
The film version stars Nikki Blonski, Amanda Bynes, Zak Efron, John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah and Christopher Walken.
In 2003 it won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The London production was nominated for a record eleven Laurence Olivier Awards, winning four of them (including Best New Musical). The cover from the 2016 live version of the musical was nominated for "Best Musical Moment" at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV awards.
This arrangement is for the UK-style brass band. The key has been lowered from the original musical version. This arrangement includes the verses performed by Tracy and Link, Penny and Seedweed, and Motormouth, as well as the bridge section from the film version and the Von Tussle section from the stage-show version.
