During the panel, it was revealed that two original songs written for the musical movie version of Hairspray will be added into the production. Also, unlike previous NBC productions, the action will move outside of the soundstage when the scene calls for the characters to go outdoors.

It was also revealed that Sean Hayes will play Mr. Pinky and Rosie O’Donnell will be playing the gym teacher.

FYI: Kristin is wearing an Alexis dress. Derek is wearing a Ted Baker London suit and shirt with Aldo shoes. Jennifer is wearing a Jonathan Cohen dress, Rupert Sanderson shoes, an M2Malletier clutch, and APM Monaco jewelry.
