Hairspray is returning to the Liverpool Empire in 2027 as part of a brand-new UK and Ireland tour, with tickets priced from £25. The hit musical will run at the theatre from September 13 to September 18, 2027.
What to Expect from the Show
The musical tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a teenager in 1960s Baltimore who dreams of dancing on The Corny Collins Show. After landing a spot on the programme, she uses her popularity to challenge racial segregation and promote inclusion.
Audiences can expect to hear some of the show's best-loved songs, including Good Morning Baltimore, You Can't Stop the Beat, Welcome to the 60s and I Know Where I've Been. The soundtrack has helped make Hairspray one of the most popular stage musicals of the past two decades.
Award-Winning Production
Based on the 1988 film by John Waters, Hairspray became an award-winning success after its Broadway debut. The production won eight Tony Awards and has since enjoyed acclaimed West End runs and multiple UK tours.
The Liverpool Empire is one of many venues on the nationwide 2027 tour across the UK and Ireland. The show will run at the theatre from September 13 to September 18, 2027.

Tickets for the Liverpool performances will go on sale on Monday, July 6. Demand is expected to be high as the popular musical makes its return to the city. Tickets can be bought for £25. However, some tickets, depending on the day and time, are priced at £30.
