Hairspray Live Live GIF Blog: All the Musical's Best, Worst, and Biggest Moments

Good evening, Baltimore! 

Hairpsray Live has finally arrived, and with it comes our annual live musical live blog, filled with all the GIFs, the snark, and the pure joy we’re likely to be able to squeeze out of tonight’s three hour production. 

Starring Maddie Baillio, Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Harvey Fierstein, Martin Short, Kristin Chenoweth, Garrett Clayton, Dove Cameron, and Derek Hough, Hairspray Live is probably just about to blow our socks off. Hell, even Jennifer, Kristin, and Ariana’s voices alone will most likely have us fanning ourselves. 

We’ll be updating this post throughout the night with all the GIFs you’ll ever need, so stay tuned and keep us bookmarked during the show. 

Singing while lying down is HARD. Girl never had a chance to make it through that song without running out of breath, so we’ll give her a pass on all the lyrics she didn’t manage to sing. 

Best intro to a character on TV of 2016, yes or no? 

Derek Hough was MADE for this role.

Quality three-way split screening there, NBC. 

Dove Cameron is stealing this show, y’all! Somehow, she even stole a song she was sharing with Ariana Grande, which is not an easy task. 

HAIRSPRAY GOT IN ON THE MANNEQUIN CHALLENGE! Little late, but we forgive them. 

This Link is…not Zac Efron. But really, who is? 

Feel free to head to the comments to share your own thoughts on the production, and in case you need it, we’ve also provided a handy guide to all of the songs from the show! 

Hairpsray Live airs tonight at 8 p.m. on NBC. 

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBC Universal family.)
