Leave your thoughts about Hairspray Live!.
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerAll in all, it wasn't an unpleasant revisiting of a great musical; it just wasn't a particularly coherent or revelatory one. Now someone just needs to mount a Broadway revival and cast Ms. Hudson in it. |
| Baltimore SunHal BoedekerHairspray Live! worked best of NBC's recent live musicals because the show captured the excitement of live performance. |
| Baltimore SunDavid ZurawikIn the end, it was more on the good side in terms of the story and performances. But the bad network business surrounding the songs was almost too much to bear at times. |
| Associated PressMark KennedyThere may have been enough aerosol spray to burn off the rest of our ozone layer, but Wednesday's ambitious live version of the musical Hairspray on NBC was worth the environmental damage. It was light and fun and soon had you stuck. |
| AV ClubCaroline SiedeIn throwing back to the 1960s, Hairspray Live! offered a glimpse of a better future. |
| TV.comMalcolm VenableWell! That was something. NBC's Hairspray Live! didn't just raise the bar for live TV musicals -- it bedazzled it, twirled it around and threw it up in the air while doing cartwheels. |
