Story Plot - Hairspray

Hairspray is a musical set in 1962 Baltimore.


Tracy Turnblad spends all of her time watching the Corny Collins  show, a dance-a-thon with Link Larkin as its main star along with his girlfriend Amber Von Tussle (Brittany Snow) whose scheming mother, Velma, controls all the votes for the Miss Hairspray crown.
Velma says no to Tracy being part of the show because of her size and her height, but Corny sees her at the school and lets her be part of the show.
Tracy creates a few enemies with her views on segregation, her best friend Penny falls in love with Seaweed, who taught Tracy her dance moves and Link starts falling fall her.

The song, 'Good Morning Baltimore' is the very first song played in the film, this is because she is waking up for a new day in her life, however, all she thinks about is being a dancer and performing on the Corn Collins show which is what the whole song is about. 

"You can't stop the beat" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhxfn6rXHP8&feature=related  is another song in Hairspray. This comes near the end, because a girl called Amber is stopping Tracy from achieving her dream of performing. This song shows Tracy standing up to Amber telling her that she cannot stop her from achieving her dream.

"The new girl in town" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRi2T6mgH3Y&feature=related is also about Tracy. She has made a good impression on the cast of the Corny Collins show and they are all talking about her and how she is a threat to Amber. Everyone wants to be her and have her ambition, drive and personality.
