Book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan. Music by Marc Shaiman. Lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman. The Tony Award-winning best musical of 2003 closes the season with its Music Circus premiere. The musical-comedy phenomenon takes you back to 1962 Baltimore , as 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show.
