These hair-oes and hair-oines are a cut above the rest.

Fillmore Academy Drama Club students from PS 207 performed the hit musical “Hairspray” in Marine Park on Feb. 5. The youngsters donned 1960s garb to fit the show’s era, and took to the stage in loud plaid skirts, cardigans, and polka dot attire.

The stage — which was decorated with an array of colorful circular cutouts in sky blue, bubble gum pink, and bright orange — mimicked the color scheme of the Hairspray performances on Broadway.

Throughout the show, PS 207’s stars swayed, shimmied, sang and — most importantly — shined.

Take a bow: The cast of Hairspray strikes a pose.
