This was great! THIS WAS AMAZING!!!You guys are a very talented and amazing group!

[@irinaklippert5654]

This was great!

[@angela3403]

Who played Tracy in this hairspray play. and who played Link and Penny and seaweed in this. they all did great job in this video

[@fortifarse]

this is a truly impressive performance overall, but why is Tracy dressed like a 60 year old veteran actress winning a guest star Emmy??

[@tomkelly9841]

In every production Tracy is always portrayed as a heavy set big haired young lady . I personally think that Berklee College of Music's production is one of the best that I have seen

[@darreylhenderson8979]

Yes, just as you said- a YOUNG lady. Not an old lady like she's dressed here

[@billysmith1480]

This is probs one of my favourite comments I've ever read on youtube.

[@sylvani1]

You have to remember that the story of this musical takes place in the early 60s

[@tomemeornottomeme1864]

If you pay attention in the beginning Tracy almost said the wrong line "you cant stop today"

[@krazykittymatt]

Beautiful singing and choreography! But the costumes and wigs... Not so much. But this was seriously amazing

[@davidbuchan6877]

Tracy’s costume makes it seem like it’s their 1992 reunion

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Well done everyone!

[@dgaller06]

Why were so many people, including the actress playing Amber, dressed so modern?

[@drag1017]

Why are the costumes so bad? This is a musical and set in the 60s everything should be bright and fun colored. Not dressed like 2020 and like everyone is going to a funeral!!!

[@brittanydeschler5040]

The costumes are okay

[@jadenreynolds5205]

the 70s and 80s were neon and colorful the 60s are different

[@angela3403]

What do you mean by that.

[@allisonbrady7494]

I think the costumes are amazing!
