Mark Benton is perhaps best known for his roles as Eddie in Early Doors and Howard in Northern Lights. He also played head teacher Mike Newgent in the ITV drama Britannia High and was featured in BBC's Hustle
He has appeared in the seventh series of the BBC drama Waterloo Road playing teacher Daniel 'Chalky' Chalk. Last year he played Mr Perks in the highly successful the Railway Children which played at Waterloo Station.
Benton said: "I can't wait to start Hairspray, it's going to be amazing fun and an interesting challenge for me as it's my first adventure into the world of musicals...that I get to go on that adventure playing a Baltimore housewife is an added bonus! As a musical I think it has everything, great songs, great script, really interesting story and lots and lots of laughs...I hope!"
