Hairspray Live!: Ariana Grande and Derek Hough Nail the 1960s Look in New Cast Photos
The cast of NBC's musical is all smiles on the set of "The Corny Collins Show."
With just over a week until Hairspray Live!hits the small screen, NBC has offered up new photos of the cast all decked out in their 1960s finery.
The musical, airing Dec. 7, is based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway production, following the spunky Tracy Turnblad (newcomer Maddie Baillio) as she reaches her dream of dancing on the Baltimore TV dance program The Corny Collins Show. She's then encouraged to see the all-white show integrated with the support of her force-of-nature mom Edna (Harvey Fierstein), bringing her whole town together through rocking songs and dancing.
