This holiday season
Hairspray Live! will be bringing the singing and dancing joy on the small screen as part of
NBC's now annual TV musical extravaganza.
John Waters iconic musical about racial integration in early 1960s
Baltimore gets an update on his 1988 original and the 2007 remake, as larger teenage girl
'Tracy Turnblad' (played by newcomer
Maddie Baillio) realises her dreams of appearing on a popular TV dance show.
This 2016 staged and aired live adaptation boasts the star power of
Kristin Chenoweth, Derek Hough, Rosie O'Donnell, Sean Hayes, Martin Short, Harvey Fierstein, Billy Eichner, Jennifer Hudson and
Ariana Grande to name but a few of the talent involved.
These vibrant billboards for the live special were first snapped above
Sunset Boulevard on November 3, then along
La Cienega Boulevard the next day.
For
NBC's previous live musicals, be sure to also enjoy this
billboard for The Sound of Music Live!, this
Peter Pan Live! billboard and this
billboard for The Wiz Live!
In these dark times we need a little light and a reminder of how far we've come, so let the beat go on and let's hope this reimagining of
Hairspray can inspire another generation to see beyond the colour of someone's skin, how they look, who they love, or where they come from.
UPDATED: Here's also an
Emmy consideration billboard for the musical special snapped along
West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on June 2, 2017. Sometimes the
Emmy ad creatives are stronger than the original launch versions.
Plus here's another example spotted high over
Westwood Boulevard on June 9, 2017.
