Hairspray Live

Hairspray live really wasn't that impressive to me. Hairspray is one of my favorite Broadway shows of all time but honestly I wasn't impressed with this showing of it. A big reason I wasn't impressed was probably the casting choice. I think Ariana Grande being in this show was the dumbest decision you could make. Her voice has always not been one of my favorites because of how fake it sounds and it did not fit into the time and type of music in this musical. This show is placed in the 60's and Ariana Grande's voice is way to well as I said before fake. Her voice you can tell is messed with in the audio room and you really can tell in this musical.





Her voice is just not one for Broadway and especially for the 60's. Her voice immediately turned me off as soon as she started singing and it's sad that one voice can turn off a whole musical but it can. It also annoyed me at the end how they kind of made the show all about her by having her sing the last song, this show isn't about Ariande Grande it's about showing you can do anything no matter who you are or what you look like. The one good thing about her in this show is she had the most clothes on I've ever seen on her.
