6 Hairspray Character Descriptions Tracy Turnblad A pleasantly plump teenager with a big heart who has dreams of being a dancing star as soon as she's out of detention for her big hair. Tracy isn t afraid to be herself and stand up for what she believes in. She must be friendly, relentless, and goodhearted with a vibrant, lovable personality and love to sing and dance. (Mezzo Belt) Edna Turnblad Tracy s kind, plus sized mother; runs a laundry business out of her home but hasn't been out in a while. Played by Harvey Fierstein on Broadway, and John Travolta in the movie, this drag role requires a strong comic male performer who is ready for his inner woman to take the spotlight Edna is not a man pretending to be a woman, she is all woman! Just, you know, with a distinctive voice. (Tenor) Wilbur Turnblad Tracy s goofy father, who owns the Har De Har Hut joke shop and is still madly in love with his wife, Edna. He encourages Tracy to follow her dreams. (Baritone) Corny Collins the exciting, confident dancing and singing host of his own TV dance show (think American Bandstand at its inception). Corny is in favor of Tracy and racial integration. (Tenor) Penny Pingleton Tracy's slightly dorky, but lovable best friend who is often by her side (when not grounded forlife by her mother, Prudy). Falls head over heels for Seaweed. (Belt) Amber von Tussle bratty, selfish resident princess of The Corny Collins Show. Her mother's daughter through and through, she is willing to do anything to win the Miss Teenage Hairspray pageant. Council Member.. Belt. Velma von Tussle Amber's slim and attractive but overbearing mother who pushes her daughter to seek stardom. Velma is the scheming producer of The Corny Collins Show who tries to steer it in the white direction. Her sensitivities are offended at the very sight of Tracy. A great villainess role. (Belt) Link Larkin Teenage heartthrob, aspiring young Elvis, and male lead dancer on The Corny Collins Show. Falls in love with Tracy (Amber is soooo jealous!). Council Member. (Crooning Baritone) Seaweed J. Stubbs Motormouth Maybelle s son and a talented dancer on The Corny Collins Show, but only allowed on Negro Day. Ends up in detention with Tracy. Falls in love with Penny. (Tenor) Motormouth Maybelle the sassy Corny Collins Negro Day DJ. Owner of a record store and mother to Seaweed and Little Inez. Plus sized, she helps Edna find pride in herself. (Soulful Alto) Little Inez Seaweed's little sister and just as talented a dancer. Tries to audition for The Corny Collins Show but is turned away because she is black by Velma. (Belt) The Dynamites Judine, Kamilah, and Shayna Talented black vocal trio a la The Supremes. Council Members Tammy, Brad, Fender, Brenda, Sketch, Shelley, IQ, Lou Ann Dancers and singers on The Corny Collins Show.

7 Other Students Gilbert, Duane, Lorraine, Stooie, Thad Kids we find in detention, and most in Motormouth, Maybelle's record shop. Female Authority Figure The roles of Prudy Pingleton (Penny's uptight mother), the sadistic gym teacher, and the prison matron are often played by one cameo performer. Male Authority Figure The roles of Harriman F. Spritzer (President of Ultra Clutch cosmetics, Corny Collins show sponsor), the high blood pressure principal, and Mr. Pinky (owner of a plus sized dress shop) are often played by one cameo performer. A few other Ensemble and Pit Singing roles may also be available. TBD All information is subject to change!
