ALL-SINGING all dancing Kinver performers are aiming to be a cut above when they present the Midlands debut of Hairspray.

Kinver Light Operatic Society stars will be bringing the colourful musical to life at Edgecliff High School, Enville Road, from May 11 to May 16; there's also a matinee on the 16th as well as an evening performance.

It will be the first time an amateur group has performed the popular show in the Midlands.

Society spokesman Nina Best said: "We are really excited about performing it."

Becca Hadland stars as dance-loving teen Tracy Turnblad who becomes an overnight celebrity after she successfully auditions for a spot on the The Corny Collins Show in 1960s America; while Laurence Edmonds plays love interest Link Larkin.
