Hairspray stars honored to take advice from a ‘Monkee’

 

 

MERRILLVILLE | Not long before ‘The Monkees’ took center stage for their 45th Anniversary Tour at Star Plaza Theatre on June 30, Micky Dolenz took the time to give pointers to the two leads of Star Productions regional theater production of ‘Hairspray.’

This was perfect timing for Gina Guarino (who plays Tracy Turnblad) and Frank Hattula (who plays Edna Turnblad) due to Micky actually finishing a run of ‘Hairspray’ on London’s West End, just prior to his going on tour with ‘The Monkees.’

Micky portrayed Wilbur Turnblad, the role Charlie Blum will bring to life in the Star Productions presentation.

‘Hairspray’ begins July 30, 8:30 p.m., July 31, 2:00 p.m., August 6, 8:00 p.m., and August 7, 2:00 p.m.
