Anybody watching Hairspray Live?

Title says it all. NBC. Just started at 8PM ET.

Hamilton is n PBS

A repeat of the previously aired special, @bookworm? No Hamilton on my PBS station.

You bet–watching Hairspray!

Watching for the first time.

From the opening, you might think Baltimore now seems to have mountains ! I never saw it on Broadway or on tour. It’s okay so far but not knocking my socks off. Waiting for the big moments!

Yep

Darn, I forget that was on tonight. Hopefully it will be shown again.

Husband guilted me into switching channels. :frowning: He wanted to watch Fareed Zakariah’s Obama Legacy special on CNN.

Watching Hairspray

Recording it!

Enjoying it. Always nice to see musical theatre on a mass scale. I totally needed a break from reality tonight.

Yes, enjoying it more as it’s going along!

Would be more invested without all the social media add ons. Don’t need a blow by blow recap of each scene, don’t care about fans in different cities.

And so many commercials! I watched Sound of Music live, it seemed to have fewer commercials? Is it just a need for time to switch scenes in Hairspray?

I’m guessing the commercials are placed to accommodate scene and wardrobe changes. We’re taping it for D, but I will watch so that I can hear Jennifer Hudson sing. I don’t care about the play itself, I just want to hear her voice.

I am a fan of Kristin Chenoweth. That is main reason I am watching.

Jennifer Hudson! Wow! Flipped back over during a commercial break just in time to catch her.

Yes, Jennifer Hudson’s song was great!

I’m enjoying it. And yes, Jennifer’s Hudson’s song was amazing.

Ya, I’ve watched it. Such a good cast
