Join the Virtual Production of "You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray!

You've been cast in our virtual production of "You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray!

While we continue to stay at home and socially distance, we thought you may enjoy joining us in a song that captures the resilience, fortitude, and determination demonstrated by all of you during these times. And what better song than the iconic bop from the Tony Award-winning Hairspray, "You Can't Stop the Beat." 

MTI and our friends at iHeartRadioBroadway invite you to perform and record this spirited number at home, share it on social media, and tag us for a chance to be featured on our social media channels! Belt it out, get up and dance, and show us how you can't stop the beat!

To be featured on our social platforms, simply:

  1. Record the song at home either solo or digitally connect with favorite scene partners and round out the cast.

  2. Tag @mtishows, @iHeartRadioBroadway, and #MTIatHome on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or TikTok for a chance to be featured.

We'll feature as many entrants as we can over through May 13th! 

Below you will find the lyrics, downloadable guide vocal tracks to rehearse with and accompaniment tracks to sing-along to. Add some extra pizazz by registering for these FREE tutorials of the original Broadway choreography with Jerry Mitchell and The Original Production (TOP)
