Brian
Conley - one of the UKs biggest entertainment stars with credits
spanning musicals, television, film, comedy and variety - is back in
drag as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray while newcomer Chloe Hart takes over
as big-haired, big-hearted Tracy Turnblad. She comes direct to the show
after a long stint in Wicked at the Apollo Victoria. Liam Tamne takes
the heart-throb role of Link Larkin. The musical continues to break all
box office records at the Shaftesbury and is now booking to April 2010.
