Hairspray Live! (2016 TV Movie)
2/10
The 2 starts is just for Jennifer Hudson
7 April 2018
Where did they get this cast and who did they drag in for production? Okay, the sets were great, but the sound and cameras were all wrong. As far as the performances, the only one who knew what she was doing was Jennifer Hudson. Her singing, as usual, is phenomenal and suited to a musical like this.

From the casting to the actual acting, if I can even call it that, to the singing which was at best sad to the dancing, I would have asked for my money back had I gone to the theater for this.

Derek Hough did fine as Corny, but it's really a bit part in the production.

If you want to watch real productions, try the 1988 and 2007 film versions, both wonderful in their own ways.
