So when she gets chosen to be on the air, it seems like all her dreams are about to come true. But when she and some of the Black cast of the show try to integrate the segregated dancing, things take on a life of their own. A sweet, hopeful parable about the dangers of conformity and segregation, \u003ci\u003eHairspray \u003c\/i\u003eis perhaps the one optimistic entry in John Waters’ shocking and delightfully deranged oeuvre. Both a clear-eyed social critique and a celebration of the dizzying aesthetics of Baltimore in the early 1960s, this is another, softer side to the essential John Waters.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798804746398,"sku":"TLD-9781250371294","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781250371294.jpg?v=1778119584","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781250371294","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
