Also, it is Kristin, not Kristen.

Ahh sorry! Yeah when I first read "Ariana Grande cast in Hairspray", I thought she'd be Amber but I guess she's used to playing dirty characters and Penny is one of those. I think without love is the only song?

Ariana Grande? I've seen her a few times on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show and thought she was just bad. Such a paperthin voice. Terrible casting choice.

Ariana Grande has an excellent singing voice, but she sings such appalling music that it's nigh-on impossible to tell.

I don't think I've heard of anyone in it so far.

I must've confused her with Demi Lovato. Still not overly happy with Ariana Grande being cast, but I don't think it'll be as bad as I feared this morning.

Glee star Becca Tobin to play Amber.
Isn't it just Link to be cast now?

Maybe the guy that was 'the replacement Cory Monteith' in Glee that they found on the Glee project. He would make an excellent Link and has the teeth for it...help me out here. He was just in a movie that never came anywhere near me so I couldn't see it...by the 'Boyhood' and 'Dazed & Confused' guy...pah! you lot are useless

Some more casting (final I think)
Dove Cameron to play Amber and Garrett Clayton as Link. From the looks of it, they are both stars of Disney Channel.
Really like this cast, any idea if ITV2 will air this over here like they did with Grease?

Has anybody heard anything else about this being aired in the UK? All the promo looks AMAZING and I love the cast - I'm sure it will be great!
NBC have never aired a musical of theirs in the UK before so I'm hoping loads that they will give the rights to a UK broadcaster to air this. Hairspray is a great musical and I'm sure it would get the viewing figures.

You're wrong there, NBC's Sound of Music did air here on Channel 4 about 4 months after it went out but it wasn't really received particularly well so I presume that's why it's not happened since

Video of the cast singing YCSTB!! So excited to see this programme, Jennifer Hudson is the BEST casting for Motormouth.
Is it me or is Arianna certainly miming in this?

It was basically this advert, with a British voice-over, and they didn't include some of the lesser-known American names (everyone but Dove Cameron and Garrett Clayton, I think), and that it's on ITV2 on Friday 9th December at 8pm!

Thanks theatremadness. How annoying - It clashes with "Ball & Boe" on ITV1 at 9pm same night.

No production since the original has made the costumes work. The original productions's costumes all looked like they were from the same show. These costumes look like they were just thrown together randomly.
Also - I HATE this International section as I normally only read the musical forum and actually had to search for this thread.

I'm really looking forward to this and hope they carry on tradition of live musical every year. Im not 100% sure on all of the casting but will keep an open mind. Im also gutted it's clashing with Ball and Boe nothing good on telly for ages then 2 things at same time. Thank goodness for catch up!!

Am I the only one who is most excited about Kristin and Jennifer over anyone else in the cast. In that Thanksgiving performance, even though I love her music, I thought Ariana sounded awful!

Agreed! Jennifer is one of my favourite singing stars and I cannot wait to hear her in Hairspray Live!
I do think though that from the clips we've seen so far this production looks VERY similar to the 2007 movie. I know they're emulating the era but still...

Okii, i am coming round to the idea of Ariana. Her voice is growing on me in this role the more I watch it.

The soundtrack for the live production is on Spotify now.
Arianna's vocals are so wrong for this - I was such a supporter of her in this role.
