A spokesperson says---
“...This Tony-winning musical – with book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman – is based on the John Waters film and directed by Najee Brown in his Umbrella Stage Company directing debut. It’s the story of Tracy Turnblad’s rise to fame on the Baltimore’s 1960s dance program, “The Corny Collins Show” and her fight to racially integrate the show..."
