With only three days until the premiere of Hairspray Live!, NBC has released a brand new promo for the upcoming musical. Starring Ariana Grande, Dove Cameron, Garrett Clayton, Jennifer Hudson, Kristin Chenoweth and more, the show will go live on December 7.

“Hairspray Live! takes place in 1962 Baltimore. Plump teenager Tracy Turnblad’s dream is to dance on “The Corny Collins Show,” a local TV program. When against all odds Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight and meets a colorful array of characters, including the resident dreamboat, Link; the ambitious mean girl, Amber; an African-American boy she meets in detention, Seaweed; and his mother, Motormouth Maybelle, the owner of a local record store. Tracy’s mother is the indomitable Edna, and she eventually encourages Tracy on her campaign to integrate the all-white “Corny Collins Show.”
