The play is set in Baltimore in 1962 when teenagers Tracy Turnblad and her friend Penny Pingleton are watching the Corny Collins show, much to Tracy's mother Edna's dismay.

After one of the stars of the show leaves, the chance to audition to dance on the show arrives, and Tracy quickly takes the opportunity. With the help of her friend Seaweed, Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussel and her mother Velma. Tracy then decides that it's not fair that the African-American children can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of her friends and family she is going to integrate the show.
