Hairspray Live! is an upcoming live musical adaptation of the 2002 Broadway musical Hairspray, which in turn is based on the 1988 film of the same name. It is scheduled to be broadcast on NBC television on December 7, 2016. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are producers of the project.[1]
In 1960s Baltimore, Tracy Turnblad's dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show. Her dream becomes a reality when she earns a place on the show and becomes a celebrity over night. Tracy's mother Edna encourages Tracy along with her friends to introduce her campaign to integrate the all white Corny Collins Show.[2]
Production
Kenny Leon and Alex Rudzinski are co-directors with choreography by Jerry Mitchell and Harvey Fierstein is the script adapter. Robert Greenblatt, the chairman of NBC Entertainment, said: "In keeping with our desire to bring the best of Broadway to our live musicals, we've assembled the Broadway dream team of Tony Award winners for Hairspray Live."[3]
The show will air on NBC on December 7, 2016 in the US. Canada will air it the same night on City. Australia will broadcast it on December 10, 2016 on SBS[4] and it will be broadcast in the UK on ITV2 on Friday 9th December.
Concept
Robert Greenblatt said that the musical will be filmed on the "Universal [studio] back lot in Hollywood, so we’re going to spend a fair amount of the show outdoors, which we haven’t done previously. The sun will be going down just as we start ‘Good Morning Baltimore,’ ” He further said that the broadcast would feature a live audience, portraying people from Baltimore and as part of "The Corny Collins Show".[5]
The appearance of Ricki Lake and Marissa Jaret Winokur in the show was announced in November 2016, but with no additional details. Jerry Mitchell noted: “Don’t we want to surprise you?”[6] On November 16, 2016 Winokur discussed their roles, and it was revealed that she and Lake will work "at the racially integrated clothing boutique run by Sean Hayes' character!"[7]
Music
Two musical numbers that were written for the 2007 film will be included in Hairspray Live!: “Ladies’ Choice” and “Come So Far (Got So Far to Go).” The songs "The Big Dollhouse" and "The New Girl in Town" from the stage production are not in the television version.[8]
