Several former "Hairspray" stars recently took part in a virtual reunion to give a jubilant performance of "You Can't Stop the Beat" to raise money for The Actors Fund. Chenoweth said on social media that the televised musical was some of the most fun she ever had.
The all-star cast includes Oklahoma native Kristin Chenoweth, Harvey Fierstein, Ariana Grande, Derek Hough, Jennifer Hudson and Martin Short. The three-hour live event was directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon and features choreography from Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell. "Hairspray Live!" tells the inspiring story of Tracy Turnblad (newcomer Maddie Baillio), a plump teen in 1962 Baltimore who wins a spot on a local TV dance program and ignites a campaign to integrate the show. The YouTube channel The Shows Must Go On! is streaming this weekend NBC's star-studded 2016 production of "Hairspray Live!"
