New Line Home Cinema is releasing a two-disc “Shake and Shimmy� Edition DVD of the movie Hairspray on November 20th.
Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion – dancing. Her dream to appear on Baltimore’s hippest TV dance show seems a natural fit except for one not-so-little problem – her plus-sized figure. However, Tracy wins a spot on the show and becomes an instant on-air sensation, much to the chagrin of the show’s reigning princess, Amber. The audience loves the new girl in town, and soon, so does Amber’s boyfriend. The dance party gets personal as a bitter feud erupts between the girls as they compete for the coveted “Miss Teenage Hairspray� crown.
Meanwhile, at school, a short stint in detention opens Tracy’s eyes to bigger issues than just the latest dance craze – racial inequality. She leads a march to fight for integration and winds up with an arrest warrant instead. Forced to hide, she will have to decide if she should stay underground and forfeit her title or sing and dance her way out of trouble. When big hair meets big dreams anything can happen – and does – in this high-energy comedy that proves you don’t have to fit in to win.
