Why You Should Be Excited for 'Hairspray Live!'

This is the fifth year NBC is putting on a live musical around the holidays. Previous live productions consisted of The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, The Wiz, and Grease. This year they will be putting on Hairspray and I couldn't be anymore excited!

Ever since I saw Hairspray on Broadway in 200_ it was my favorite musical and for it to be put on as a live television event is so exciting.

Here's why you should tune in on December 7th at 8/7c!

The Cast

NBC has pulled together quite the all-star cast for this production. Starting Ariana Grande, Derek Hough, Jennifer Hudson, Martin Short, Harvey Fierstein, Dove Cameron…just to name a few.

The Show

Hairspray is a show that is set in the 60s and covers topics like segregation and judging people on their weight, things that people are still going through today. For this musical to be put on during this time is extremely fitting and hopefully will open people's eyes.

It's Live

Live shows are always a gamble, you get one shot and you are done. It's always fun to watch and see how the show will be done and how it will flow. Maybe you will even catch a slip up, who knows!

Make sure to tune in tomorrow and dance along with Tracy, Link, Penny, and the whole crew!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
