Members Lucky Posted November 24, 2016 Members Share Posted November 24, 2016 If you are watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade, you just saw a performance by the cast of Hairspray Live, to air on NBC on December 7th. If you liked that preview as much as I did, then it becomes must see TV on NBC! The sett looks great, the choreography superb, and the cast is fantastic, starting with Harvey Fierstein again playing Edna Turnblad. Link Larkin is played by Garrett Clayton, the handsome young star of King Cobra, where he played Brent Corrigan, a former male escort. Sexy Derek Hough is in the cast as well, looking younger than he has in years. He plays Corny Collins. Rosie, Martin Short. and Andrea Martin are other well-known cast members. No Veronica Lake, but Tracy Turnblad seems adequately covered by Maddie Baillio. I enjoyed Hairspray on Broadway when a friend and I fought deep snow drifts to get to the theater. We were rewarded with good seats as many Broadway fans couldn't get in to Manhattan. It's going to be a lot easier to see it on TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marcanthony Posted November 26, 2016 Members Share Posted November 26, 2016 Generally I MUCH prefer live to film... But when Zac Efron is Link Larkin, it's really hard to beat.... that being said, I am definitely going to watch. Good morning, BALTIMORE!!
