Weekend

On Stage

Hairspray
Join in the fun when Hairspray arrives in the area. The winner of eight 2003 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Hairspray entertained audiences for over six record-breaking years during its Broadway run. It’s 1962: the ’50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion: to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity.
Friday, Jan. 22, 8 p.m.; Saturday, Jan. 23, 2 and 8 p.m. $75, $60, $45. Tilles Center, C.W. Post Campus, Rte. 25A, Brookville. (516) 299-3100 or (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

Then venture outside to hear calls of Great Horned and Eastern Screech Owls.
Friday, Jan. 22, 7-9 p.m. Registration required. $10. Planting Fields Arboretum, Greenhouse Classroom, Planting Fields Rd., Oyster Bay. (516) 922-3200 or trsac@audubon.org.
