Hairspray (2007 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Filming took place in Toronto, and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada from September 5 to December 8, 2006,[3] with the rest of the production and location settings done in Baltimore (the film's setting) in-between and after the Canadian scenes. Most of the street scenes were shot at the intersection of Dundas Avenue West and Roncesvalles Avenue. Some of the signage for the 60s-era stores remains up along the street. Lord Lansdowne P.S. appears as the high school exterior. Scenes in Hamilton were shot between November 22 to December 2 at the old Queen Victoria School. The school was scheduled to be demolished after film production was completed. "
