("The New Girl in Town").
Baltimore, 1962: "Pleasantly plump" teenager Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) sings her heart out (Good Morning Baltimore) on her way to school.
Later, after school, she and her best friend Penny Pingleton (Amanda Bynes) rush home to watch The Corny Collins Show hosted by Corny Collins (James Marsden) (The Nicest Kids in Town). Tracy's mother Edna (John Travolta) tells them to turn down the volume because she's ironing. Then Penny's strict and religious mother Prudy (Allison Janney) arrives to pick up her laundry and drags Penny out of the house after Tracy's attempt to hide her behind the couch and to tell Edna not to tell Prudy.
After school the next day, Tracy and Penny watch the show outside of a TV shop window, while Link (Zac Efron) sings the song that the other stars are dancing to (It Takes Two). Tracy exclaims that he should be dating her, rather than Amber (Brittany Snow), as she's a much better dancer. Link then says to cut school to come and audition because one of their council members, Brenda, is leaving the show (When asked for how long, she says only for nine months). Edna does not allow Tracy to attend the auditions because she doesn't want her daughter to get hurt from criticism from others. Tracy's father, Wilbur (Christopher Walken) encourages her, saying, "Go for it! You gotta think big to be big!" The next day Tracy and Penny go to station WYZT and find station manager and Amber's mom Velma von Tussle (Michelle Pfeiffer) preparing the council members for the auditions while re-living her pageant days (The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs). Tracy is rejected after she is asked, "Would you swim in an integrated pool?" to which she replies, "I sure would! I'm all for integration! It's the new frontier." She then walks to school late because of the audition. Her teacher told her, "I trust it was something really important." Tracy mutters, "It should have been."
Tracey is then sent to detention for cutting/lateness to class. When Tracy arrives in detention she meets Seaweed J. Stubbs (Elijah Kelley) and learns a dance called "Peyton Place After Midnight". Link sees Tracy dancing in detention, tells her about the Corny Collins Record Hop, and bumps into her causing Tracy to burst into song (I Can Hear the Bells) which only Penny can hear as she dances her way through the school. The next afternoon, Tracy does the "Peyton Place" dance at the Record Hop as Link sings (Ladies' Choice) and Corny watches.
Later, after Corny puts Tracy on the show, Penny races to the Turnblad's home and shows Edna and Wilbur their daughter as a regular on "The Corny Collins Show". Later, Amber and two council members, Shelley (Sarah Jayne Jensen) and Tammy (Hayley Podschun) sing a song (The New Girl in Town). Later, on the show's Negro Day the trio, The Dynamites do the song also. Velma threatens Motormouth Maybelle (Queen Latifah) for using the same song, but Motormouth points out to Velma that they originally wrote it. Later that evening, Edna is telephoned by Mr. Pinky (Jerry Stiller) saying that he wants Tracy to be his spokesgirl for his store "Mr. Pinky's Hefty Hideaway", a clothing store for plus-size women. Edna is reluctant to go, but ends up getting a makeover with Tracy (Welcome to the '60s). Soon after, Edna and Tracy are taunted by Velma and Amber at a local restaurant. When Velma says, "You'll stop traffic" to Edna, Edna wants to return the clothes, but Tracy convinces her out of it.
The next day, everybody wants detention to see Tracy. But Tracy ends up going to detention again because Amber, in the same class, told their teacher that Tracy said that he had breasts. As Tracy begins to head out Link stands up. The teacher asks Link if he would also like to go to detention. He doesn't answer. The teacher then asks Link if he knew the last words of Patrick Henry. Link replies, "Kiss my ass," earning himself a trip to the detention room. Seaweed leads Link, Tracy, and Penny out of the school in song (Run and Tell That) to a platter party at his mother Motormouth Maybelle's record shop. Amber, impersonating a man named "Mike," calls Edna, who then goes to the record shop intent on taking Tracy home. Motormouth invites Edna to partake of her cooking, while singing the praises of being plus-sized (Big, Blonde and Beautiful).
Edna and Tracy return home, and Edna prepares for bed with new confidence in herself. Meanwhile, Velma goes the shop to seduce Wilbur (Big, Blonde and Beautiful (Reprise)). Edna finds them and Velma tricks Edna into thinking Wilbur is in it with her. Edna, really upset and goes to cry upstairs. At Tracy's urging, Wilbur returns to apologize ((You're) Timeless to Me) and they have a fun time dancing outside.
While at the record shop, Motormouth suggests that everybody meet at 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon to lead a march to the WYZT studios to get on the 11:00 news to protest segregration (I Know Where I've Been), stemming from Velma's scheming decision to drop "Negro Day" from the show, and partially because of Tracy's popularity as well as Velma controlling Link's music career. They are halted at the WYZT TV station, where Motormouth and Tracy tries to talk to an officer. In doing so, Tracy taps the officer with her protest sign; the officer characterizes it as an assault, and tries to arrest. Tracy manages to escape the crowd and seeks refuge in Penny's house while an all-points bulletin is put out for Tracy. Penny takes Tracy to their family's basement as a place for her to hide, but Prudy finds them and calls the cops. While Tracy waits in the bomb shelter for the police to arrive, Prudy confines Penny to her room. In the meantime, Link goes to the Turnblad's apartment in an attempt to find Tracy; her parents invite him in. While Link sings to Tracy`s picture and declares his love towards her, Seaweed rescues Penny and they in turn rescue Tracy. They all sing about how they each feel about each other and how their love doesn't matter in how different they are. (Without Love).
The next day is the Corny Collins Miss Teenage Hairspray pageant, aired live from the studios of WYZT (It's Hairspray). Amber's in the lead due to Velma rigging the voting by hiding all the votes that aren't for Amber in her bra. Tracy's parents and friends try to get Tracy into the station as there are police officers all around all trying to intercept her. Eventually Tracy gets in via an empty hairspray can prop the cops used as a battering ram to get the stations' doors open (Velma thought she was in the place and had it jammed, not knowing it was a diversion). The pageant starts and there are talent agents there (including Ricki Lake, Marc Shaiman, Adam Shankman, and Scott Wittman). Tracy arrives coming down from a stage and she begins to sing (You Can't Stop the Beat) and when Link jumps in with Tracy, Amber becomes stuck in the opening where Tracy entered from. Seaweed also pulled in a shy Penny onto the screen who bursts into energy and declares, "I am now a checkerboard chick!" before kissing Seaweed on live television. When Prudy sees this at home on TV, she falls over the coffee table in shock. Corny then announces Little Inez (Taylor Parks), Seaweed's little sister, as the winner of the pageant as she dances up a storm and gets everybody's vote, thus integrating the show. Velma is fired by Mr. Spritzer (Paul Dooley) after she is caught on camera by Edna and Wilbur telling Amber how she rigged the voting and everybody joins in the song. At the end of the movie, Link and Tracy share a kiss.
The end credits have character images with the actor's name and show little televisions and hair spray cans as "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" and two songs from the stage musical - "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now" and "Cooties" - are heard. "Mama" is performed by the original film's Tracy (Ricki Lake), the original Broadway show Tracy (Marissa Jaret Winokur), and this version's Tracy, Nikki Blonsky; and also includes a very special cameo by the original Broadway Edna (Harvey Fierstein).
