NBC to air some live commercials during its live musical

“Everyone loved her when she was here”, said student James Nguyen, who was a freshman when Baillio was a senior.

Baillio’s alma mater, Clear Falls High School, will be featured during the show and KPRC 2 will be there to cover it! But “Hairspray Live!” had more than three times the social-media engagement of Fox’s “Rocky Horror Picture Show” in October and “The Passion Live”. If you don’t have one – or if NBC’s live stream isn’t available where you are – keep reading to see some other ways to get access. It boasts strong themes of racial equality, tolerance and self-acceptance. Hairspray turned into a Tony-winning Broadway musical in 2002 and a hit movie musical in 2007.

“I think that the way we’ve done these musicals, they are very family oriented”.

With the country in a “divisive place”, he said, viewers are eager for entertainment “that can be really healing”.

Seaweed J. Stubbs is a hip and kind-hearted dancer who befriends Tracy Turnblad in detention and teaches her some new moves. However, her goal morphs as she tries to integrate the performers on the show.

Newcomer Maddie Bailie, in the key role of Tracy Turnblad, didn’t consistently knock our socks off, but she brought enough charisma and charm to her performance to excuse whatever flaws there were. The character, originally played by Ricki Lake, was inspirational for many due to her full-figured body type, which hadn’t typically been seen in a leading lady role.

“Treat it like a rehearsal … just do what you’ve been doing”, he advises.

It takes a lot of talent in front of and behind the cameras to pull off a live production like this.

There will be a half-hour pre-show event with stars of the show, Kristin Chenoweth and Sean Hayes, called Countdown to Hairspray Live!, at 7:30 PM on NBC.

The day before the premiere, Grande posted a photo with choreographer Jerry Mitchell beside the caption, “What an honor and a dream come true this has been. i wish we could do this forever”.

While “Hairspray” is the tamest of Water’s films, it even had a PG rating, it still pushed boundaries.

With today’s technology, it’s a little easier to watch shows on your TV, computer or tablet, but the kicker is to find an actual LEGIT stream.

Although a musical and a comedy, “Hairspray” also tackles some of the most hard issues faced during those tumultuous years as the country moved toward integration, in a lighthearted, yet poignant way. Look also for homage paid to the original cast and crew with the Waters Plumbing and Divine Pet Food storefronts. “Hairspray“, the original film, was released in 1988.
