‘A Quick 5’ with Caroline Daye Attayek, Swing and Dance Captain in the National Tour of ‘Hairspray’

Maryland Theatre Guide: Based on John Waters’s 1988 film of the same name, “Hairspray,” Broadway’s Tony Award-winning, musical comedy blockbuster is back on tour and “coming home.” The tour is making its way to The National Theatre in DC in May (and later to its birthplace up the road). The musical won eight Tony Awards in 2003, including Best Musical. It was then made into a 2007 film with an all-star cast including John Travolta, Zac Efron, and Queen Latifa, to name a few. In 2016, NBC produced a live, TV production of the show, also packed with stars.
