Sixties Afternoon: Hairspray and '60s Clips
It's been restaged on Broadway and remade with Zac Efron, but there's nothing like John Waters' weird original.
Overview
The skirts were short, hippies were groovy, and if you didn’t love The Beatles, then you loved The Rolling Stones. Teens danced on television shows, and everyone wanted to be a star. Or at least that’s what movies about the '60s have told us.
One film in particular has shaped the views of those who weren’t alive at the time, one made in the 1980s yet set two decades prior. Hairspray has been restaged on Broadway and remade featuring Zac Efron, but there’s nothing like the original. John Waters’ cult classic made a star out of Ricki Lake, and also featured the one and only Divine, plus Debbie Harry and Sonny Bono.
Don’t miss this rare chance to see the movie on the big screen — and if you can’t resist the urge to tap your toes, you’re in for a treat afterwards. Stick around for more swinging sounds, and music clips too. It’ll be just like stepping back in time, minus the time machine.
