Priority Access to Hairspray tickets for West End revival for previous bookers!
The original Broadway production of Hairspray The Musical is set to return to London's West End. The musical will open at the London Coliseum for a limited run, which will mark more than 10 years since Hairspray has been seen on the London theatre stage. Tickets for the West End revival of Hairspray are in incredibly high demand as the show will once again star musical theatre sensation Michael Ball as Edna Turnblad, who reprises the role from his 2007-2009 Shaftesbury Theatre run. The iconic musical is set to have an extended 19-week in 2021.

It ended up winning the Olivier Award for Best Musical as well as Best Actor (Michael Ball) and Best Actress (Leanne Jones) and we can already "hear the bells" for a 2022 awards sweep!
