Hairspray is a 2007 American musical film produced by Zadan/Meron Productions and distributed by New Line Cinema, set to be released in the United States and United Kingdom on July 20, 2007, and Australia on September 13th. The film is an adaptation of the Tony Award-winning 2002 Broadway musical of the same name, itself adapted from John Waters's 1988 comedy film. The plot follows the quest of a young, "pleasantly plump" girl named Tracy Turnblad as she simultaneously peruses stardom as a dancer on a local TV show and rallies against segregation in 1962 Baltimore, Maryland.
Adapted from both Waters' 1988 script and Thomas Meehan & Mark O'Donnell's book for the stage musical by screenwriter Leslie Dixon, the 2007 version of Hairsrpay is both directed and choreographed by Adam Shankman. Hairspray stars John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, and Queen Latifah. The film also stars Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, Allison Janney, and introduces newcomer Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad. Hairspray features songs from the Broadway musical written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, as well as three new Shaiman/Wittman compositions: Ladies' Choice, The New Girl in Town, and Come So Far (Got So Far to Go).
