The Pope of Trash, John Waters comes to Houston for his first ever live director's commentary, of his original HAIRSPRAY! A special pre-show trailer reel will kick things off, followed by the main event, the screening of Hairspray with live commentary by Waters, followed by a Q&A. VIP ticket holders will join in a Group Therapy Experience with Waters afterwards! Presented by Arthouse Houston, and the Houston Cinema Arts Society.
"Hairspray is the only really devious movie I ever made. The musical based on it is now being performed in practically every high school in America... Pink Flamingos was preaching to the converted. But Hairspray is a Trojan horse: It snuck into Middle America and never got caught."
- John Waters

ABOUT HAIRSPRAY: ‘Pleasantly plump’ teenager Tracy Turnblad achieves her dream of becoming a regular on the Corny Collins Dance Show. Now a teen hero, she starts using her fame to speak out for the causes she believes in, most of all integration. In doing so, she earns the wrath of the show’s former star, Amber Von Tussle, as well as Amber’s manipulative, pro-segregation parents. The rivalry comes to a head as Amber and Tracy vie for the title of Miss Auto Show 1963.
