Little Radical Theatrics is set to present the musical “Hairspray” at the Dr. Phillips Center’s Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater in Orlando. Performances are scheduled from August 14 to August 16.
The production will feature local Orlando talent, including L’Niarae Blevins serving as the cultural coordinator and Chris Payen as co-choreographer. Both creatives are aiming to offer a new perspective on the well-known musical.
Blevins and Payen intend to explore the classic musical’s themes with an approach that acknowledges its controversial aspects and the conversations they can provoke. Their involvement signals an effort to bring contemporary considerations to the staging of the production.
The Dr. Phillips Center’s Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater will host the engagement. Specific showtimes for the August 14-16 run were not provided.
