And here they are showing various scenes:
The interior of Mr Pinky’s Hefty Hideaway
The gymnasium, where Tracy and her friends from detention are persecuted
Thursday’s preview also featured the second half of the fabulous production number Welcome to the 60s, where Tracy and Edna are transformed in a homage to Sweet Charity-like 1960s
The Dynamites at Mr Pinky’s
The magic begins
Tracy and Edna are transformed
Tracy and Edna are part of a black and white mod world
Edna is having a ball
Tracy knew her Mom would would love it
Edna can’t contain her joy
The Dynamites finish off the number
