Oh god- I'm getting ptsd from all the times we had to rehearse this song in my theater company's production of Hairspray lol

[@kallen868]

😅I get that!

[@baileeharding8886]

This show is good when you're not the one suffering! My during the dodgeball scene after this with I looked up for one second and got nailed RIGHT IN THE FACE! I was little Inez so I was off stage waiting for run and tell that. That shit hurt SO BAD.

[@echowall5967]

What part in the show did you play

[@alizeica519]

@@echowall5967 It's kinda hard to explain. I didn't get a main role because it was my first ever show but I was ensemble with roles in small groups like I was usually choreographed separately than most of the cast (I was in kinda like Tracy's Greek chorus or like, a second Dynamites' group) and I was also one of Pinkies' girls (the girls who help Tracy and Edna get changed and measured in this song). But I would try to be in as many songs and dances as I could because I'm not white enough to only be a nicest kid but I'm also not dark enough to be solely part of the Motormouth group so sometimes I would switch. Sorry for the long explanation :)

[@hardcandy9880]

You didnt like it?

[@torigross7074]

I love how happy the two previous Tracy’s are for Maddie! Especially Nikki, they have the biggest smiles!! So fun they included them.

[@austinpuppy]

Nikki’s not in this. That’s Marissa Jaret Winokur, the original Tracy on Broadway.

[@Starlight_Silver]

@@austinpuppy - I had to Google it after reading y’all’s comments. Look at what Nikki said about not being in Hairspray Live!…. "They never reached out to me. I think they kind of forgot me, which is fine. We all have our moment in the sun," the 28-year-old actress told TooFab in an interview. "I was so happy for [the other two women who played Tracy]. I think they did a great job. It was an interesting thing to sit back and watch it. I was most excited for the people who have never seen it before to be able to just turn it on the TV. It was definitely bittersweet for me, but after I watched it, I felt really good about it." How awful for her! I loved her in Hairspray (2007)! How could they leave her out of this one?

[@xheartsandhoofbeatsx]

@@Starlight_Silver To be fair, Nikki was involved in some controversy after the film (notably, her family was involved in a violent altercation with another girl at an airport, and some racist remarks were made). Since this was a "family" show, I'm guessing that is why they left her out. (Not that I agree with doing that.)

[@mimimicamica]

@@Starlight_Silver I hate that, she was who made me fall in love with the character

[@matthieus2]

@@Starlight_Silver I can see how it seems more fitting just having the original two on each door in this number. I could imagine a third actress here may have not had a place to stand, etc. I get the impression this live show was more about the actual stage musical version than the musical movie version, hence Harvey being back as Edna. But I could imagine if they wanted Nikki to make a cameo she could've been asked, even at a different point in the show.

[@quandaredevil]

The Dynamites are too fabulous

[@quandaredevil]

@Skyla Simmons oh I didn't notice that! that's great!!

Not sure if people knew but the 3 dynamite women were the original broadway cast as well!!! So cool they all came back for this!!!

[@pedrooliveira3486]

Everybody has an aunt who has a smoking voice like that Edna. Amazing work. Just adorable. The Dynamites were FIERCE.

[@mechadoggy]

If you smoke enough, your voice can also turn into that of Harvey Fierstein’s

[@mysticreign6578]

This made me tear up cause its such a hearfelt song even though its so up beat. She’s giving her mom a new sense of confidence after being un confident for so long

[@chancellorjake]

The background singers always make this song for me!

[@giggles7179]

Such a beautiful nod to the world John Waters created. I often wonder how Divine would react to seeing the unbelievable success "Hairspray" has had and all of the leading men that have paid tribute to her with each iteration of Edna Turnblad. Most importantly, Waters has said he was thrilled at this show's success, particularly as the show has become hugely popular in high schools, finally giving the lead roles to those who always deserved it the most: the full-figured girls and the sissy boys that would grow up to be drag queens. That, with the racial plotlines that are even more timely today than ever, is truly the importance of "Hairspray."

[@cadencestephens2016]

Harvey Fierstein had way too much fun with this and it's absolutely iconic

[@lilly5671]

I love how the had two of the original Tracy’s before this one and I love how they also have brown hair.

It really is the tech problems that hold these productions back, even when the performers are stellar. Awkward camera work, poor sound design, that one background singer could barely be heard with her mic. Idk if it's their budget, or lack of rehearsal time or both, but it is a shame. 😔

Agree to disagree!! I feel Jennifer Hudson was too modern for Hairspray. Don't get me wrong she's fabulous but she didn't fit the role of Motormouth. There are pros and cons to both versions and I respect anyone's opinion. After all, it is Hairspray!! 😁
