Hairspray transports you to 1962 Baltimore where big-hearted Tracy Turnblad indulges her passion for dancing.

Theatre spokeswoman Gemma Nethersole said: "Based on the film of the smash-hit stage show, Sing-a-long-a Hairspray is a wild, noisy, fun-filled experience, while Sing-a-Long-a Rocky Horror is based around the 1975 film with Tim Curry as Frank 'n' Furter, Susan Sarandon as Janet, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff and Meatloaf as Eddie and is the craziest, some say weirdest, movie ever made.

"They are packed with terrific musical numbers including Sweet Transvestite, Good Morning Baltimore, Whatever Happened To Saturday Night?, I Can Hear The Bells and the Rocky Horror anthem The Time Warp.

"The hilarious shows start with a vocal warm-up led by the evening's host, who will also take you through the goodie bag, containing various props to be used at strategic points throughout the film.

This is followed by a fancy-dress competition in which everyone in costume is invited onto the stage to show off their imaginative creations.

"You can then settle down to sing your heart out with on-screen lyrics so everyone can join in. In the case of Sing-a-long-a Rocky Horror, expect the howling to go on all night!"

The Sing-a-Long-a phenomenon began in 1999, with the original show, Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music becoming a hit all around the world. It continues to tour the UK.

Producer Ben Freedman says: "It has filled a gap for communal singing that just isn't available anywhere else these days. People want to get together and join in a group experience and we provide that.

Add to that the fact that it's fantastic fun and you have a winning formula."

Hairspray is at 2.30pm and Rocky Horror (12) is at 7.30pm.

Tickets are on 01903 206206.
