Tracy ultimately does attend the auditions, where she literally bumps into Link, initiating a romantic dream sequence ("I Can Hear Bells"), which is interrupted when Tracy is called upon to audition. All three girls argue with their mothers ("I'm a Big Girl Now"). Meanwhile, Prudy berates Penny for listening to "race music" as Velma criticizes Amber on her poor dancing. Edna fears that Tracy will be ridiculed at the auditions, but Wilbur encourages Tracy. Tracy's father, Wilbur, arrives home from work at his novelty gag and joke shop. Tracy pleads with her mother to let her audition. Corny further announces that they're auditioning a new female dancer for the show. Tracy, watching the show, is mortified to see that Amber is wearing Link's ring. When the show returns from the break, Corny Collins announces an upcoming live, primetime special, where talent scouts will be on-hand and an election to crown Miss Teenage Hairspray will be held. Hunky teen idol, Link, offers his Council Member ring to vapid teen queen dancer, Amber (whose overbearing mother, Velma, is the show's producer). The action shifts to the TV studio were the "The Corny Collins Show" broadcast has just gone to commercial break. Prudy objects to the girls watching the "colored music" performed on the show. Penny's mom, Prudy, arrives to pick up her laundry from Edna. Meanwhile, Tracy's mom, Edna, is ironing her neighbors' laundry to earn extra money. Later that day, Tracy and her friend, Penny, rush home from high school to catch the latest episode of "The Corny Collins Show," a teenage dance TV show ("The Nicest Kids in Town"). She dreams of being a star ("Good Morning Baltimore"). Tracy Turnblad, a pleasantly plump teenager, reflects on how much she loves her city and she loves to dance.
