Hairspray 4K UHD + Blu-ray
John Waters brings his subversive style to one of his most accessible and wildly entertaining films.
Set in 1962 Baltimore, Hairspray follows Tracy Turnblad, a confident teenager with big hair and even bigger dreams, who becomes an overnight sensation on a local TV dance show. As her popularity grows, Tracy uses her new spotlight to challenge the show’s segregation and help push for change in her city.
Funny, rebellious, colorful, and full of music and attitude, Hairspray blends rock-and-soul energy with Waters’ unmistakable sense of humor. Starring Ricki Lake and Divine, this cult favorite remains one of Waters’ most beloved films.
