“Hartford Children’s Theatre’s production of Hairspray, directed by Ryan Ratelle with choreography by Lisa Foss, is impeccably coiffed. HCT has mounted an eye-catching, professional production that looks gorgeous in the intimate, historic Wadsworth theatre. Anthony Fedorov sings and acts with panache. Victoria Mooney dances and sings her heart out… Far from a drag, Matt Cornish is far and away the best singer I have seen play Edna, and he/she steals the show with his/her two big sparkle-gown entrances in Act 1 and Act 2.” - Jacques Lamarre, BroadwayWorld.com

as "Link Larkin!"
It's 1962, and Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire - to dance on the popular "Corny Collins Show." When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star, but she must use her newfound power to vanquish the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network - all without denting her 'do!
