I graduated from Baltimore City Community College myself. Still love the shout out to Essex Community College. Ariana at the end was wearing heels that were way too high for the period, and it made her look a little kinky.

Harvey was a little stiff, but he is not a young man. But the new costumes are really well done and, while different, are just as well done as the original. (781) 7.0 1 h NR NBC assembles a star-studded team of award-winning talent for the live production of the beloved Tony Award-winning Broadway show, 'Hairspray.' It tells the inspiring story of Tracy Turnblad, a teen in 1962 Baltimore who wins a spot on a local TV dance program and ignites a campaign to integrate the show. Hardcore fans probably will notice the technical precision in which the dancers do their thing, the change in costumes on many of the originals etc. Yes there were some technical issues, however its live and therefore forgivable. And Ariana Grande, well I had never heard her sing before today(because I'm apparently not that cool) but she did a great job.Costumes were pretty nice, and Rosie O'Donnell is actually bearable. Jennifer Hudson is A-Freaking-mazing, of course. And Martin Short is adorable but just not Walken, you know. I have no idea how he has such cleavage, but it is quite impressive.

On the other hand, Harvey Firestein is so cute as the mom, he kind of steals the show.

I think this was hard to do considering the other amazing movie version with Christopher Walken and John Travolta.
