Hairspray

The 1960s were a time of great progression for African Americans across the United States. From the Civil Rights movement in art that depicted what it was like to be a minority in America. For the first time, people across America were fighting to make a change for the better. In Hairspray, the year is 1962 and the Corny Collins’ show is in full swing. Complete with an all-white dancing group of teenagers and one day a month dedicated to African Americans titled “Negro Day.” Back then TV is black and white but it is not Black and White. In 2016, TV is in color, it is Black and White, but that does not mean that racisms is disbanded. In both the 1960s and 2010s marches and protests have made a difference.

People who witnessed the incident videotaped the encounter with the police choking Eric Garner, showing Eric Garner screaming, “I can’t breathe.” The jury who heard the case did not…

The movie Hairspray is a loosely based 1960s themed musical turned movie that contains controversial topics along with nostalgic themes from fashion to type of speech.

musical production Hairspray, there were various differences in acting styles, technical elements, and demands of the actor in comparison to plays in general.
