Hairspray Live: The Best, Worst and Most WTF Moments
Hairspray went live on NBC last night.
The latest small screen musical production starred Maddie Baillio, Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Harvey Fierstein, Martin Short, Kristin Chenoweth, Garrett Clayton, Dove Cameron and Derek Hough, among others.
What were the best moments? What were the worst moments? Which moments have left our eyebrows permanent scrunched in confusion?
Let"s GIF this up for the answers, shall we?
1. … And We’re Off!
It can’t be easy to sing while lying down. This could explain a few missed lyrics off the bat by Baillio.
2. HEY!
And the Best Television Introduction of 2016 Goes To…
3. Let’s Do The Twist!
Derek Hough was literally born to play this role, don’t you think?
4. Best Use of the Split Screen Since 24
And no way could Jack Bauer sing like this.
5. Dove Cameron FTW!
We didn’t even know who Dove Cameron was before. But we do now.

Ariana Grande: Cast In Hairspray Live!
Ariana Grande is the latest celebrity to board NBC’s Hairspray Live.
The 23-year-old singer-actress took to Twitter to announce the news to her 39 million followers.
Her initial tweet certainly got her her fans intrigued.
“hi i have to tell you something very very exciting today.”
“Most of you know that i’m really just a musical theater geek…. like a really big one… so…. my heart is very full re: this announcement.”
She then let the cat out of the bag.
“I AM NOWWW A CHECKERBOARD CHICK #HairsprayLive #Penny.”
“Penny has been a dream role since Hairspray opened on Broadway. At 9, I was (and still am) in LOVE w @KerryButlerNyc. hope to make u proud,” Grande said.
She continued, “I’M GOING TO BE IN A SHOW WITH @HarveyFierstein AND @KChenoweth IS THIS AN ACTUAL JOKE ……………….” The star added, “Anyway… I’m so honored and beyond excited to be a part of this dream cast…… I will for sure pass out at the table read. #HairsprayLive.”
Ariana started in theater all the way back when she was just 9-years-old, so this is sure to be a very special time for the star.
Even though Grande is currently a very successful singer, she hasn’t let that come between her acting career.
She played one of the Chanels in a recurring role on Fox’s Scream Queens just last year.
Considering her character was killed off, she is not expected to return for the sophomore run of the show.
Hairspray Live is not at a loss for star power.
Jennifer Hudson and Derek Hough are just a few of the big names already attached to the project.
Hairspray Live premieres on NBC this December.
