Viewers of “Hairspray Live!” got more than they bargained for during Wednesday night’s live broadcast when some ghosts of “Hairspray” past dropped in for an appearance.
During the musical number “Welcome to the ’60s”, plucky teen Tracy Turnblad (Maddie Baillio) is singing with mom Edna (Harvey Fierstein) when who should appear but Ricki Lake (who played Tracy in the original 1988 feature) and Marissa Jaret Winokur (who played the character in the hit Broadway musical based on the film).
The result can be seen in the above clip, in which this trio of Tracys demonstrate that you just can’t stop the beat!
