Hairspray Live! (2016 TV Movie)
3/10
Overall, didn't like it.
11 December 2016
Pros:

Maddie Baillio, Jennifer Hudson, Ephraim Sykes, and Shahadi Wright played their characters very well, and did a wonderful job. Great singers too!

Ariana Grande did not once try to upstage Baillio, nor did the producers put put more focus on her than Baillio.

Cons:

The camera angles were abysmal.

General lack of heart and soul than other recreations.

The choreographer must have been drunk for the first few numbers. Movements were very stiff.

Was the sound mixer asleep?

Technical issues with microphones, mainly them cutting out.

The sponsor ads in between, while creative and cute, felt very out of place.

Other characters did not act or sing with as much feeling.
