Big Heart, Big Hair, and Big Dreams

Newfield High School Theatre Arts students proudly put on a production of the Broadway classic, Hairspray. Newfield’s performance captivated audiences with infectious energy, memorable tunes, and powerful messages of inclusivity.

Based on the iconic John Waters film, Hairspray follows the story of Tracy Trumblad, a big-hearted teenager with big hair with an even bigger dream: to dance her way onto national television and inspire change in 1960s Baltimore. Filled with laughter, romance, and toe-tapping music, the production celebrated diversity, self-expression, and the power of standing up for what is right.

Under the direction of Director Joan Meichner, the talented students of Newfield High School Theatre Arts worked hard rehearsing and perfecting their performances. From the dynamic dance numbers to the heartfelt ballads, audiences witnessed a high-energy and emotionally resonant production that left them singing and dancing in their seats.
