Best parts about this video: Matthew Morrison's dancing Kerry Butler's smile when she's singing Laura Bell Bundy's facial expressions in the background Corey Reynolds' hips
She started out in the chorus of Grease, then they bumped her up to Jan. I got to see her in that, and still remember thinking how amazing her performance was.
I'm convinced Kerry should not participate in Shaiman and Whitman musicals on Broadway in the same years that Tammy Blanchard does a revival of something. 2003: Kerry plays Penny in Hairspray, gets well-deserved Drama Desk nomination as Best Featured Actress for her performance, Tammy plays Louise in the Bernadette revival of Gypsy, she gets the Tony nomination. 2011: Kerry plays Brenda in Catch Me If You Can, sings for the first time the song that will become her signature (and personal favorite to sing), once again gets Drama Desk nomination as Best Featured Actress, Tammy plays Hedy LaRue in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and guess who once again sweeps in and steals the Tony nomination that was rightfully Kerry's. Maddening.
@@lizlemon3698 I was being semi-sarcastic when I posted that last night. I apologize for going too far. When will I learn that sarcasm, which largely depends on tone of voice, doesn’t translate well in internet posts, which always come across as literal? In all seriousness, I’m sure Tammy is not intentionally slighting Kerry; it’s just a series of unfortunate coincidences. Kerry did finally receive her long-overdue first Tony nomination for Xanadu, and I hope her day is yet to come. Best Case Scenario: Kerry and Tammy do a show together and they mutually agree that one of them submits as Leading and the other as Featured, so that neither of them gets in the other’s way.
Hairspray should be brought back to Broadway!! The entire cast and songs like YCSTB always entails high energy and positivity throughout the entire show. I just love it!
Impressed they brought the pit musicians out to perform the song (or at least give the impression of a live band by playing along to the track) out on the plaza ^^
This is a sight for sore eyes :) As delightful as it was to hear and see some of my favorite songs reinterpreted by a new cast in Hairspray Live! last week, the amazing Original Broadway Cast always comes to mind -- I still know all of the lyrics, years later, and think of them whenever I hear the score. Interesting and disappointing that they Edna/Harvey is omitted, and the giant Ultra Clutch can is flat. Also amusing that so many people think of Mr. Morrison as Mr. Shue first -- this was his first leading Broadway role and well before Glee.
Mr. Schuester, and Sgt Gabriel are both in this. I know technically Matthew Morrison and Corey Reynolds were both in Hairspray first, but I'll always remember Matt as Mr. Schuester from Glee, and Corey as Sgt Gabriel from The Closer.
+dgaller06 I saw Matthew in Once Upon A Mattress with Tracy Ullman & Carol Burnett. In fact, he is interested in doing Hairspray Live on NBC this December.
thecatman4ever Lol your probably just a Ariana Grande /Dove Cameron child fan so I am just going to agree with whatever you say so I don't make you cry.
Awesome performance but disappointing not to see Harvey Fiernstein as Edna. Also be ready for next holiday season Hairspray fans because NBC has chosen the adventures of Tracy and friends as their next holiday TV musical event.
A. S. Vieira Hairspray isn't one of my favorites but I have a bit of nostalgia for it. I saw the two movie versions twice and the Broadway version three times
Adrián Ríos They did an outstanding job and it was a lil different that the cast wasn't actually at the parade but hopefully they'll bring their A game dec 7th
This video is just further proof that hairspray live is best live musical to date. They casted that version perfectly while putting in celebrities and they followed the original choreography as shown here
No, but they've both had important roles in iconic and game-changing Broadway musicals: Loretta Devine, the actress you're thinking of, was the very first to play Lorell in Broadway's original Dreamgirls. This is Mary Bond Davis.
I love this performance.:-):-D What a great song.:-):-D Wooo! WOOOoo!I love the musical,but wish bith of their mothers went into the record store,so that Mama Maybelle would/could say Papa Tuney .We have a loony.
The fact that in Hairspray Live decided to do the original Broadway choreography is pretty impressive and it is something to appreciate
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who noticed that!!!
I am so happy about that. I am glad that they didn’t go with the 2007 movie choreography, or the wigs, or the costumes. They were just so boring.
we did it at my school i was a struggle to learn but we did it
West End choreography was the same
Nikki Hurley West end productions copy everything except the actors from the OBC in every production.
More like “you CANT stop to BREATHE”
as someone who participated in the show, I can confirm.
Lol for real! 🤣🤣💀
As fun, high energy, & upbeat as this song is, it’s a REALLY tough one to do... PLUS dancing... Oyy!!! I give them lots of credit!
MDRRR bien dit
It’s impressive! I don’t know how they do it!
Wow! Matthew Morrison looks so young here!
Maddy Gowers ikr, to bad he didn't sing in the glee remake 😤
He still looks young up to now. He never ages one bit!
Because he is young
This was 5 years before Glee
Best parts about this video:
Matthew Morrison's dancing
Kerry Butler's smile when she's singing
Laura Bell Bundy's facial expressions in the background
Corey Reynolds' hips
Im sorry not the mr shue dancing no no
You’re sleeping on Shoshana Bean’s shoulder action
Marissa was on the original cast of Hairspray AND the original cast of Grease?? Dang girl!! She is so lucky.
Not the original cast of Grease, but the first U.S. revival (as far as I know there have been two U.S. revivals of Grease)
Not lucky, talented
@@stevethecrochunter1156 Jan!
Lucky and talented!
She started out in the chorus of Grease, then they bumped her up to Jan. I got to see her in that, and still remember thinking how amazing her performance was.
I didn't know that Mr Shue from Glee show was in Hairspray musical. I loved him in Glee show Matthew Morrison is a great actor.
They did "you can't stop the beat" in Glee too
I know that. I love that song
I- younliked mr shue in glee????? HOW
@@pammy7120 i know they need help
Me.Schue having adult friends
Chey it’s a miracle
Lmao
I can't believe this was a few years before he did Glee
Yasss Mr. Schue
And they performed that song on Glee lol...
+eddiwow24 I actually first saw Matthew Morrison in Once Upon A Mattress with Tracy Ullman and Carol Burnett.
@@birdlawco really?
@@moraweiss5820 yeah!
Mr Shue go back to the choir room!
Mara Aguilar this was in 2002. 7 years before Glee.
RockyHorror Gleek its a joke
Lol so true
Go back to rapping!!
looks how he proved quinn wrong
I like Amber's hair better here than in the actual stage production. I'm glad they went with her hair from the movie for Hairspray Live.
That baby screaming in the background though in the beginning
Corrine Renee legit I have a baby and I kept pausing the video thinking it was mine lol
This entire cast is iconic but Kerry is a legend, love her so much (got to meet her when I saw Beetlejuice too!)
I'm convinced Kerry should not participate in Shaiman and Whitman musicals on Broadway in the same years that Tammy Blanchard does a revival of something.
2003: Kerry plays Penny in Hairspray, gets well-deserved Drama Desk nomination as Best Featured Actress for her performance, Tammy plays Louise in the Bernadette revival of Gypsy, she gets the Tony nomination.

@@oscarphile I was unaware of her unfortunately overlooked talent. That’s like, a Hamilton level leg sweep, dropping her down.

Who's here after the The Show Must Go On UA-cam run?
Hairspray should be brought back to Broadway!! The entire cast and songs like YCSTB always entails high energy and positivity throughout the entire show. I just love it!
Ahhh!!!! Laura Bell Bundy!! 😍 I love her
Queen. Kerry. Butler.
More than a Queen. She's a goddess.
And she once played an actual goddess!
i had NO idea that Matthew got to play Link Larkin
Abbie Rankin he's the original
Sam Adamsson well there was a Hairspray in the 80s
DJ Yeah but he's from the original Broadway cast that was before the 1980s version. The 1980s version was a remake of the Broadway musical.
Nini Blaxx when was the original broadway version. I thought this was the original broadway version
This performance is from 2002.. so the 1988 version was way before this.
Impressed they brought the pit musicians out to perform the song (or at least give the impression of a live band by playing along to the track) out on the plaza ^^
Laura Bell Bundy AND Kerry Butler in one cast?!
Omg it's Elle Woods, and Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors!
Yep!
I thought you meant Ellen Greene at first and tried looking for her lol
KERRY BUTLER IS TOO AMAZING FOR WORDS
Only movie I ever saw where me and everyone else were up dancing in the aisles at the end. And I was 68 at the time.
Laura Bell Bundy's facial expressions are so funny, I'm laughing so hard! I love her!
You did it Mr. Schue! You’re on Broadway!
This is a sight for sore eyes :) As delightful as it was to hear and see some of my favorite songs reinterpreted by a new cast in Hairspray Live! last week, the amazing Original Broadway Cast always comes to mind -- I still know all of the lyrics, years later, and think of them whenever I hear the score.

I love Matthew Morrison’s dancing so much
My first Broadway was Hairspray! it'll always hold a special place in my heart.
The interview in the beginning was so awkward
Seriously its like the interview did 0% percent research on the person she is interviewing
finally the comment i was waiting for
Marriss is beyond beautiful! I love her.
Mr. Schuester, and Sgt Gabriel are both in this. I know technically Matthew Morrison and Corey Reynolds were both in Hairspray first, but I'll always remember Matt as Mr. Schuester from Glee, and Corey as Sgt Gabriel from The Closer.
+dgaller06 I saw Matthew in Once Upon A Mattress with Tracy Ullman & Carol Burnett. In fact, he is interested in doing Hairspray Live on NBC this December.
Holy shit, it's Matthew Morrison!
me encanta Matthew Morrison💕
Katie called her Melissa. Her name is Marissa.
omg i didnt know matthew morrison AND laura bell bundy were in this!
This cast is so iconic. Too bad Corey bad hasn’t been in much other musicals, he has a great voice.
The fact this song made it on to glee ! and matthew aka mr shue smile so big in that episode ! I wish glee did a whole episode for hairspray ❤️❤️❤️
what is incredible is that they are live! error is not permitted! Awesome
Omg look how young mr shue is ❤️❤️❤️
Young matt is so freaking cute 😂🥰
Omg LBB's (amber von tussle) face expressions in the background 😂 love Her!
MR.SHRUESTER I CANT BELIEVE THIS 😱😄😄😅
Ngl i wish i could’ve seen this cast live :)
Oh God....yes!!! I love Glee!! He looks good as Link Larkin!!
matthew morrison ♥____________♥ i love it
Mr. Shue when he was at his prime in glee club. This is what glee club was made to do, make stars.
Linda Hart as Velma Von Tussle is LEGENDARY
4:09 wtffff with her sheeee singsss amazingg
Map xs Ms. Kerry Butler
Marissa queen of Broadway AND Big Brother Period.
mat morrison..................gorgeousness
The best cast ever
Haha! Matthew Morrison is Link? That is SO awesome!
She sounds like Demi Lovato!
i knowww.
even the laugh sounds the same
Demi Lovato sounds like her
Kindly Broadcasted yeah
Kindly Broadcasted who cuz they can't sing
Omg a younger Matthew Morrison O.O
Laura is the original Amber in hairspray and the original Elle woods in legally blonde
This cast was one of the better ones compared to the newer ones.
I saw this cast. I even got my picture taken with Marissa and Matthew (for a ridiculously small donation to Broadway Cares).
I was in the play hairspray last year, I played L'il Inez. So much fun :) 3
The greatest finale song ever! ❤
Nothing beats the "Hairspray Live" version of this song & dance!
thecatman4ever Your joking right?
No "Hairspray Live" ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
thecatman4ever Lol your probably just a Ariana Grande /Dove Cameron child fan so I am just going to agree with whatever you say so I don't make you cry.
I just think you write silly comments!
thecatman4ever Lol you so childish.
I think link in this is amazing
That is Matthew Morrison. Mr Shue from Glee show he was in Hairspray show in 2002
matthew morrison plays glee but when you wiki him it does show that he plays hairspray
I know this is late but that's because your looking at his FILM stuff you have to look at perhaps plays or his bio.
Perhaps he's done both. Isn't that amazing?
I always try to not like Matthew Morrison but I can never do it. He is great in this!
Awesome performance but disappointing not to see Harvey Fiernstein as Edna. Also be ready for next holiday season Hairspray fans because NBC has chosen the adventures of Tracy and friends as their next holiday TV musical event.
believe me, I cannot wait :-)
A. S. Vieira Me too! Hairspray brings back memories of 8th grade for me.
I saw the movie when I was in college... Good times
A. S. Vieira Hairspray isn't one of my favorites but I have a bit of nostalgia for it. I saw the two movie versions twice and the Broadway version three times
Movie Hairspray
Mr. Schue singing so correct and fine I love Matthew Morrison
No one admiring Laura Bell Bundy? Okay......
The most inept camerawork EVER. I love that the button of the song is a shot of the timpani. Brilliant.
Mr. Shue been keeping secrets :)
GLORIOUS
This the exact dance they're gonna do in hairspray live
ThatBoyJai26 and its a challenge... but it's Fun! !!!!!
and as we see now at their performance at Macy's Parade, it's the same but without energy
the only ones that gives me hope are Kristin and Dove
Adrián Ríos They did an outstanding job and it was a lil different that the cast wasn't actually at the parade but hopefully they'll bring their A game dec 7th
yea
Mr shu looks adorb
If I had been in that audience I could not have stopped dancing myself.
Love song saw great show
she sounds like DEMI LOVATO (NOT JOKING)
Gurl little
Inez was feeling it
Definitely!!
amazing!
Mary Bond Davis is the best Motormouth ever.
omg marrissa's talking voice is like ariana grande's talking voice!
Michael Emir Loresto To me It sounds like Demi lavato
omg thought the same thing.
:-( no edna in this version...
I LOVE Hairspray You can't stop the beat song
+Lucinda Bell I love the song too. It's one of my favorite songs in the show
Wow, they were still very much recovering from the 90's
This video is just further proof that hairspray live is best live musical to date. They casted that version perfectly while putting in celebrities and they followed the original choreography as shown here
I’m sad that they didn’t do Tracy’s Mom...
Mr.Shue was up to a lot before the choir room!
Lol.
Yes Matty Fresh 😍
"On the outside looking in"
in 2002 when the musical first came to Broadway.
Now i know why coach Sue roasts the hell out of mr Shues hair
Love Marissa!
I’m a first-time Glee watcher and no one was gonna tell me Matthew Morrison played Link??? Oh my gosh???
12 years ago.
Is that Mr. Shue?
Omg isn’t that one lady Adele in Grey’s Anaromy?? She’s amazing!
No, but they've both had important roles in iconic and game-changing Broadway musicals: Loretta Devine, the actress you're thinking of, was the very first to play Lorell in Broadway's original Dreamgirls. This is Mary Bond Davis.
So many big names in this
Haha mr shue!!! I wondered why he was.so happy when rachel sung this :)
👍
Ho hairspray Big fan of you oh I am I love your music and everything I want to be just like Tracy
And thats what you missed on glee
That is so weird to see Matthew Morrison not in Glee
I love this performance.:-):-D What a great song.:-):-D Wooo! WOOOoo!I love the musical,but wish bith of their mothers went into the record store,so that Mama Maybelle would/could say Papa Tuney .We have a loony.
I like how it was published in 2012 and its 2019 and I still luv hair spray
Yes dear :))
