Hairspray. We are the firstly aged school in Central Florida to get the rights to occasion this show, so that's big. Hobby.

Staff Report -- East Ridge High School doctor Vince Santo may not be affable to predicament during the school's opus of "Hairspray," but his fingerprints will be all over the magniloquent come up musical scheduled for 7 p.m. on April 13-16 in the school's auditorium, at 13322 Excalibur Road, Clermont.

As a bolstering to its drama-packed present of "Almost, Maine" in February, Santo and his students are turning up the discomfort with the lyrical "Hairspray." The show, featuring a lob of 74 and an orchestra under the pointing of ERHS's Band Director Jack Hart, is the school's largest building ever. "I'm so self-important of our students," Santo said. "The ability the audience is succeeding to grasp in this year's mellifluous is affluent to be the best ever.

We are the ahead high school in Central Florida to get the rights to hatch this show, so that's big."

The popular thriller is set in 1962 Baltimore. A overweight teenager -- Tracy Turnblad -- has a reverie of dancing on a state TV dance program. When she does, she makes it a stage to put together the show.

But it is not the doom and dark of social injustice but the song numbers and well-developed characters that according to most of the show's reveiws over the years, commission it an incredibly enjoyable acting, melodic and caper experience.
