1962 Baltimore.
1961-1969...somewhere in that Era.
I think it's supposed to be around 68, before Woodstock
i'm guessing around the 60's but im not sure.
early to mid 60s i think.
EVERYBODY--PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL! its way better than the remake.
early 60s
It's during the early 60s (1962 to be exact) with racial segregation.
Definitely the 70"S LOL
sixties.
Late 1950's or early 1960's. It was the era of the civil rights movement; hence, the still obvious segregation with the dancers. 70's?? Are these people kidding? The hair styles and clothing are a dead giveaway.
totally the 60's...100% positive :)
Hairspray was set in the early 1960's.
"Hey Mumma, welcome to the sixites!" is a line of a song sung on the movie.
They do say through the movie though the exact year.
Its based on the original Hairspray featuring Rikki Lake that was made in 1988. The movie's setting is in 1962
60's
Set in 1962 Baltimore, the film Hair Spray follows a "pleasantly-plump" teen named Tracy Turnblad as she simultaneously pursues stardom as a dancer on a local TV show and rallies against racial segregation.
it's actually early 60's, 1962 to be exact. segregation is slowly fading and in the movie there's a song "Welcome to the 60's" also if you notice in the begining of the 2007 movie the newspaper thrown on the Turnblads front door step show the date 1962. Hope this helps!
Early 60's according to wikipedia, the clothes they wear look late 50's. 50's with 60's colours.
In the 60's in Baltimore. John Waters ROCKS!
70's
80's. Big Hair era
