[patraptr005]

0:04 She look like Demi Lovato...!! :D

[sirgabh0]

This was so awsome!!!! I wanna do that!

[OTHJobro23]

this is all kinds of awesome

[marilynmonroesugar]

MATT MORRISON! YAY

[GeorgeLavigne]

Am I the only one who thinks that Matthew Morrison (Will Shuester for glee fans xP) was a little bit overacted.

[BiLlAbBoNg]

@GeorgeLavigne How? 

[BiLlAbBoNg]

@GeorgeLavigne This is Broadway, everything is bigger and reactions are a little over the top!

[robeyb92]

Love this cast

[rockstarbroadway]

original broadway cast is the best!!!!

[KyleOgilvie1]

shake it schu. will should sing younger than springtime from south pacific and it takes two from hairspray to emma.

[virgiwonka91]

Will Shuester!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW *_*

[BlueskittlesXD]

Wait is this the cast from the movie?

[VActorDreamer]

@BlueskittlesXD No this is the broadway cast.

[BlueskittlesXD]

@VActorDreamer Oh, lol :P I feel dumb! I should of realized it :P

[VActorDreamer]

@BlueskittlesXD Harvey Fierstein as Edna kinda gives it away... LOL

[BlueskittlesXD]

@VActorDreamer I didn't watch the whole thing :P But I assumed it was the cast lol

[SarahMoonwalk]

I love that the choreography hasn't changed since then :)

[mrtennessee88]

Penny gave me goosebumps.

[taymg21]

I. Love. Hairspray.

It's always gonna be one of my favorite shows. All the costumes and music are just so infectious and beautiful.

And for all the people condemning the vocals and comparing this to the movie, let's see you get up there and do that choreography while singing a wordy song and see what you sound like, 'cause I think they all sound fantastic :)

[EzekielLk]

still like Diana Degarmo better for Penny but this is such an amazing performance :')

[GodMadeMe93]

YES.

[DrunkSidekicker]

Mr. Shue! :D

[imfar2loud]

edna scares me. 0__0

[broadwaygirl58]

I did this show and I was Penny and this song turned into "You Can't Stop To Breathe"!

[thetylermerritt]

tracey sucks dick. the end. 

[PhantomUmbie123]

Harvey, dude, what can't you do? These people are majorly talented :D

[LadyLuck2014]

TRACEY IS AWFUL

[broadwaygirl58]

@LadyLuck2014 I know! I don't like her! But guess what? She won a Tony! I am like how did that happen!!??

[LittleMissGleek456]

OMG!!!! Mathew Morrison!!!!!!! I didn't even notice!!!

[CindyLennox9]

Fatastic!

Who says is necesary to be thin as a paper to be cool?

I ♥ this...

"If you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn"

[tillyboos]

Matthew Morrison is REALLY, REALLY talented! Look at him dance! WOW!

[MissBP3000]

BAHAHAHA, he had to bend down so far to speak to her it's a wonder his trousers didn't go RIIIIIIIP

[Kachka01]

all I can say is HOLY SH.....UESTER! :D

[frenchhornbandnerd]

She's sharp

[ksmit135]

I had to preform this, dance and singing... Tell you what, I have sooo much respect for people who can do both this well...

[Swimmersong]

They seem to be having fun.

[60daystillmay]

yay matt and Laura Bell!!

[bombshellblonde544]

This Tracy isn't Marisa Jaret Winokur, is it...

[BiLlAbBoNg]

@bombshellblonde544 It is! :)

[loathing14]

I really liked Penny! Who plays her? Also, who play's Mrs. Turnblad?

[BiLlAbBoNg]

@loathing14 Penny was Kerry Butler and Mrs Turnblad was played by Harvey Fierstein

[loathing14]

@BiLlAbBoNg Oh thanks!

[CocoCola03256]

Matt Morrison was the best thign here!

[merbethmango]

I watched this video over 100 times and I just noticed that it's Mr. Schue........ *no comment for how stupid I am* hahaha

[The8seasons]

OMG! It was Mr. Schue!! :D

[katiedominates]

the fuck.... Mr. Schue??

[lwclark96]

@katiedominates Yes why not

[FrancesHanna]

Penny was great, but Tracy just made me hate hairspray.

[chinabby18]

vintage laura bell bundy and matthew morrison :) awesome

[PLLrocks]

I give so much credit, im an actor and singer, and its hard to move and sing , act and do all things thinggs at once

[Hudson6995]

they are all pitchy.. sad..



[strongsad14]

1:34 "You can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain on my bum." haha

[wendellgirl101]

one of the BEST performances ive EVER seen on the Tony awards! and thats coming from the girl who was introduced 2 B-way by watching Wicked's Tony award performance!

[daydreamer054]

Nothing beats the original Broadway cast of Hairspray!!

[JustShineAndSmile]

sorry but the movie was better

[darreyl102]

@JustShineAndSmile You must remember that this is Live where as in the movie they were lipsyncing to something they recorded standing still in a studio- that was also able to edit peoples voices to make them sound better. these people are both singing and dancing live. The Movie cast perfomed Beat live on the today show and it was very weak- and they weren't even doing the moves....

[mackzekerule]

@darreyl102 If this is them singing to a track, then that's even more of a downer on my opinion of Tracy.

[tbatchelder94]

@darreyl102 @JustShineAndSmile also didn't realize it was Matthew Morrison playing Link (not that they would've known that name). If they had known that a Glee star was in it, it would have been SO MUCH BETTERRRRR FVDGDG. Idiot

[GodMadeMe93]

@JustShineAndSmile ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

Do you know how many cuts and retakes the crap movie had to do? No. This is BROADWAY. There are no cuts and retakes. You'd better get it right and they did. Ew, don't even compare this to that disgusting movie!

[fishfacejohead13]

Damn Mr. Schue!

[2vollyball]

heck yea freakin good job man i just love this

[Blaire447]

MATT MORRISON!!!!

[PeaceLovePink223]

[mesul6an]

@mliaab first of all im not racist and for you inf my dad is a black and my mom is white 2nd seaweed mean blacky not black in slang "سويد " " اسود so shut the F ing UP and for the record arabic is my first language

[mliaab]

@mesul6an first of all, arabic is my first language as well, second of all, when you translate it letter for letter it does mean blacky but you dont usually translate it letter by letter, you usually translate it , i dont know, literally, dont you? if you translate it literally it means ta7aleb. also, dont you ever tell me ot shut the f**k up!! you cant tell me what to do, so shut the frigin hell up

[mesul6an]

[fevor111]

[DallasT1998]

Glee just did a version of this :-)

[MsGleekC]

@DallasT1998 Great version :)

[obsessedwithcullens]

glee characters YAAY! Wicked: The one that plays Shelby (Rachel's mum) and the the one that plays April Rhodes are in Wicked. And Matthew Morrison is in this!

[EpicNameUser]

@haleyisyouhas Thats how Tracy is supposed to sound like, the movie changed it so it would be more "pleasing"

[pinkypurple1234]

kerry sounds amazing she sounds so nasley in catch me but no here

[iloverent101]

REALLY THAT'S AWESOME!!!

[iloverent101]

@emthegleekmattyfresh who does he play?

[BiLlAbBoNg]

@iloverent101 Link Larkin!

[bluefroggie2290]

hahahahahahahhahahahaha GEEZ MATT! I like the way you move!

[inufan330]

[emthegleekmattyfresh]

[Imakemoviesthatrule]

[tipofmytongue1024]

SHOSHANA BEAN! AHH!

Awkward duck in guy's hand at 0:18

[ilovemarksanchez]

LAURA BELL BUNDY <3

[sassafras725]

One of the best Tony Awards performances I have ever seen!

[LittlePinkSnowball]

matthew morrison is a great dancer!

[mrjuggernut2010]

ncy!

[Byebyebaby4]

Love Kerry Butler <3

[yvanelicia123]

LAURA BELL BUNDY= LIFE!!!! <3

[nave3826]

I love this Maybelle!

[lucyrosec]

they did this at a college in our town and I knew the guy who played Edna it was hilarious

[Under79in9]

I just auditioned for this musical. The dance audition was the hardest audition I have EVER encountered. Its fast, hard and very fun. I give any and every actor credit up there to do all of that and sing, on key.... :D

[Faith821]

Matt I love you

[alextothezee]

the mics are so terribly balanced in this. it's such hard song and the rough edges are showing

[spazola789]

Matthew Morrison is TALENTED. Damn! 

[tctkid]

OMG! Who is Penny?? LOOOOVVVEEEE HER VOICE!!

[MilwaukeeIrishJoe]

@tctkid I'm not positive, but I think it's Kerry Butler.

[SoItsSophie]

@MilwaukeeIrishJoe It's definitely Kerry Butler :D It's such an amazing cast with Matthew Morrison and Laura bell bundy as well! And it's live this video is so great! :D xxx

[robeyb92]

Seaweed

[dialupmoron]

Is there a pit orchestra at the Tonys?

[HaleyIsYouhas]

I'm sorry but I don't like the girl who plays Tracy. She is really off key... Penny was AMAZING!

[amandapleassee]

@HaleyIsYouhas You try singing while dancing around like that, it's harder than it looks.

[CoolioRockstar]

matthew morrison as link = WOW, This then GLEE is amazing!

[Bradleysboys68]

The movie is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better Link is cuttier and all the voices are ten times better

[hicp222]

@Bradleysboys68 they've been autotuned lol.

[GeorgeJay1]

This is terrible..can't beat the UK West End or Uk Tour Cast for hairspray the singing in this performance is really just awful. Michael Ball is the best Edna.

[GeorgeJay1]

This is terrible..can't beat the UK West End or Uk Tour Cast for hairspray the singing in this performance is really just awful.

[HeyitsCloe]

Is this lip-synched too? I don't think so.

[MandeeSparkle]

Thumbs up if you were in love with Matthew Morrison before he was in Glee when he was in this or Footloose!

[JieDy555]

vals

[AskLebreah]

The mom sounds like the desk lady on Monsters Inc.

[gabrieljlivingston]

@AskLebreah Mike Wasowski....You Forgot Your Paper Work.

[SuperGraham8D]

Penny's voice. ouch.

[0broadwayismydream0]

I cant stand Harvey's voice. I'm sorry, but it sounds painful :S

[alexcheeze16]

@0broadwayismydream0 i totally agree with that he doesnt even sound like a women he sounds like a heavy smoker

[funfunnyfunner]

@alexcheeze16 He's not supposed to sound like a woman..that's the joke of it. In the original Hairspray movie from 1988, Edna was originated by a famous transvestite performer. John Travolta's portrayal in the new movie..trying to look and sound like an actual woman completely missed the mark.

[AdamEfimoff]

@funfunnyfunner he sounded amazing he had this rough voice which makes you think he does not care about what you think he is going to be someone else a star in his own eyes.

[KoharaLuna]

I love Hairspray but my favorite cast is deffinetly the London Hairspray production. = )

[xoHanBanox]

ok, i LOVE hairspray, but i really dont think this is that good...like at all.

[Bridgett30]

Ahh, Matt! Never ceases to amaze me! I wish he was in the movie! ;-)

[freedomii6]

haha :44 GULP for breath...

[ilovecharlizebaby]

adorable moment at 1:13!!

[Mgirl32]

Penny sings better then tracy

[QuirksMcGee]

Is LBB Amber???

[hairspraydude1]

@QuirksMcGee Yes.

[0broadwayismydream0]

@QuirksMcGee Oh yes!! <3

[Tecfob]

Edna Turnblad totally rocks!!!

[dancster96]

omg!! matt morrison!!

[18150690]

pretty shit am afraid the london cat were better

[BlueJeanBaby012]

I feel so hoored to say I attend the same school she did (as well as MANY others). :)

[eLPHIE789222]

lol you can hear everytime harvey sings

i love him

[PRNeneChulo]

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEE­EEEEEEEEEEE it!

[jupedinhu]

Marisa is perfect !!!

Tony award amazing

[xjellymixx]

I REALLY hate the Tracey .... and i mean REALLY! But the rest of the cast is really cool.

[razmataz13drums]

the singing in this was pretty poor!! im surprised! i dont know the name but the main womans singing was pitchy. the main vocals werent dtrong enough but when they came together they were great but still... :( if you compare it to the vocals of spring awakening which is a reeaally young cast, they blow them out the water.

[addamsfamilybroadway]

@razmataz13drums Feel free to sing and dance at that speed, and change your opinion after.

[mikesmikeisscool]

I LOVE 1:02 - 1:30

[EmbriLoves]

mr shue!

[londonshowsonline]

michael ball brian conley and michael starke are wearing harveys dress on the tour of beat gonna be gddd

[neonstar95]

OMG! Is that Mr.schue as link!?!

[MandeeSparkle]

I wish I could have seen Laura Bell Bundy in this. I bet she was just as amazing in this as she was in Legally Blonde!

[LemonLyman007]

uhm 3:44....Matthew Morrison's dancing just melted my heart

[anarquendo]

The live stage show are DISTURBING and ANACHRONIC.

I prefer the musical movie from 2007.

[softballlover0911]

@anarquendo true!!!!!!!

[18150690]

@anarquendo  agreed

[Alina3011]

Thanks So much for posting!!

Matthew Morrison is the best Link ever!!

[xosheila]

matthew morrison as link= hott!!

[musicchick4god]

@xosheila Amen!!!!! :)

[musicchick4god]

@xosheila Amen!!!!! :)

[musicalchix]

Haah! I love Harvey Fierstein <3 I saw him as Edna in Toronto about...2 years ago!! :D

[XLinnieuhhhX]

the netherlands you cant stop the beat is much better

[Eorzean]

[nahpetstephan]

I just love the energy of Marissa Jaret Winokur!!!!

[CBA1990]

I Heard that Hairspray The Musical is gonna be released on DVD

[FOBfan4eav]

[darreyl102]

[pilsburydoughboy555]

@darreyl102 What? A DVD of the original broadway cast?

[jackatastrophe]

@pilsburydoughboy555 they have one of those? where can i get one?

[16therithcrew]

I actually hate Pennys voice with a vengance in this video!

[myjunk636lavieboheme]

[darreyl102]

Yep!

[myjunk636lavieboheme]

[daward2]

@myjunk636lavieboheme Yes indeed. :) Link Larkin forever!

[MrBibble1]

@myjunk636lavieboheme thats what i thought

[zismxt]

@myjunk636lavieboheme Shocking, isn't it?

[bigbunny89044]

I love Harvey firestein. In my opinion he was much, much better than travolta was.

But that's just me.

[everchanginggirl]

@bigbunny89044 I def agree!

[HeyitsCloe]

@bigbunny89044 I totally agree!

[AdamEfimoff]

@bigbunny89044 first he can't sing but that is not the point his acting is just amazing. and he is supposed to sing like this it is supposed to be off key.
