Grammy-winning Broadway musical Hairspray began its six-day performances at the Beijing Exhibition Center on Friday evening.

The Broadway's big fat musical comedy hit tells of the tale of an overweight girl from Baltimore who sports big sprayed hair. She eventually realizes her dream of becoming a dancer through painstaking efforts.

Some familiar names, such as Edison Chen, Wang Xiaoya, and S.H.E, were specially prepared for the Chinese spectators. The humorous lines kept the audience rolling in the aisles.

And at 2 p.m. on Saturday, two hundred Olympic volunteers and nearly three hundred disabled people were invited to watch the second show of the comedy for free. They were among the first beneficiaries of the "Meeting in Beijing" 2008 Olympic cultural events.

The play will end its Beijing tour on July 30.
