I think Edna's dress is fun in a tacky, kitschy way- though if that's the "Welcome to the 60s" dress, it's ridiculously on-the-nose. Tracy's dress, though, I really don't care for.

I hope Harvey will have more padding in the actual broadcast?

This picture encapsulates everything that is wrong with the NBC musicals.

As a Baltimorean, I don't necessarily see the problem yet with those outfits. Baltimore "Hon" fashion is SUPPOSED to be as tacky and kitschy as possible. As said, especially if that's the outfit from Welcome to the 60's, it looks fine to me.

These are just promo photos and most definitely will change once things get in motion production wise.
As we saw in the past with the early promo photos, lots of things were modified (wig design, costumes, etc) for the actual "live" broadcast. Also, Edna's go-go boots are a major faux pas as the musical takes place in 1962. The mod fashion movement (which is when the go-go boots first appeared) took place around 1965.

Harvey said in a interview that's on YouTube that his breasts for Edna are 52 triple E. I might be in the minority but I like the costumes it's inspired by the Broadway show and way better then the movie ones. The wig Harvey got on reminds me of his finale wig.

If the title of the article didn't say otherwise, I'd think this was just an editorial shoot for People with Harvey and Maddie dressed as such. I'm hoping there will be some adjustments...

Craig Zadan just posted this pic of him and Harvey on twitter. I will say the dress is growing on me a bit. I actually quite like it. I guess it was the weird lighting and scene design of the photo (and those awful boots) that threw me off.

I love it it's loud and tacky and colorful and everything that Hairspray should be! :)
I would like Edna to have the same shoes as Tracy though...

I don't mind Edna's dress. I don't care for Tracy's dress tho. Hope that won't be her finale dress.

P.S. Still waiting on a Seaweed and Prudy!!

Im willing to bet these are just early "we need to get a press photo" out there sort of costume. I remember there were costumes in "The Wiz" promos that never appeared on TV.

Are you saying there's still hope for Rocky Horror?
Clarification - I want tight golden underwear. Not baggy gym shorts. Leave nothing to imagination was the entire point of Rocky for me.

Sadly, FOX TV's adaptation of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW isn't "live" - it was already filmed and in post-production. All the press promo and production photos are accurate: Staz Nair wears long gold basketball shorts in this.

This cast is everything! Anxious to find out more!
Posted: 8/18/16 at 12:07pm
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Posted: 8/18/16 at 12:07pm
Oh, that's fun casting! Totally perfect for Martin.
Posted: 8/18/16 at 12:25pm
So this will (at least) be the seventh time Martin Short and Andrea Martin have worked together.
Posted: 8/18/16 at 12:27pm
Nice! This is looking better and better! My Bawlmer pride was already swelling at finding out this was the big TV musical of the year, but with almost every casting decision I hear it's sounding better and better. I'm so excited!
Posted: 8/18/16 at 1:30pm
Perfect casting! So excited for this!
This also takes away the idea of Winokur playing Prudy... Wonder who she's playing now (if she is attached)
