You Can Dance To The 'Hairspray Live!' Soundtrack

The nicest kids in town are back when Hairspray Live ! airs on NBC on Wednesday, Dec. 7. Along with newcomer Maddie Baillio in the role of Tracy Turnblad, the musical stars Ariana Grande, Kristin Chenoweth, Harvey Fierstein, Jennifer Hudson, and Martin Short, among many others. Based on the previews, it's clear that NBC put a lot of time and effort into perfecting this particular adaptation. So, wanna get started on your twirls, splits, and tapping? Here's where you can listen to the Hairspray Live! soundtrack ahead of (and after) its live broadcast.

The cast recording features 19 tracks, including a mix of songs from the 2002 Tony Award-winning Broadway production and the 2007 feature film. Although there are some new tunes, such as a finale duet called "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" that Hudson (as Motormouth Maybelle) sings with Grande's Penny Pingleton, there's also a healthy amount of songs fans will recognize if they're familiar with the musical. And there's even one that was cut from the movie version, as songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman confirmed to Playbill that, yes, the showstopper "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now" is indeed going to be performed by Kristin Chenoweth, Andrea Martin, and Harvey Fierstein.
