This eight-time Tony Award winning feel good Musical Comedy is set in 1962 Baltimore. Chubby teen, Tracy, dreams of dancing on the local Corny Collins Show. When she makes that dream come true, she then turns her sights to bringing her new black friends to the show to dance too. The show is heart-warming and funny with great 1960’s style dance music and some “downtown” rhythm and blues.
