Where are these clips? 

 

They're on her Instagram story. Click on her profile picture 

was it ever actually confirmed that Big Dollhouse isn't in the TV version? just because it's not on the soundtrack doesn't mean it won't be in the show, the regular Grease Live soundtrack didn't have the reprise of Sandra Dee and a few other songs.

Maybe they want to save the actress playing The Matron as a surprise.

Gypsy is right re: Sandra Dee Reprise. That's a pretty important song as well but was relegated to Target bonus or whatever.

I do wish the Becca Tobin rumors had been true. I miss her on tv

But there's currently no mention about Nikki Blonsky.

DOG YEARS finished filming months ago and is in post-production.  HAIRSPRAY: Live! is currently in full mode off-the-book dress rehearsal now plus Nikki would only be doing a cameo which she can literally learn her camera blocking in 30 minutes tops.  It's not like she'd be playing a lead role.  Her non-involvement definitely merits curiousity and definitely fuels many alleged rumors about her and her work ethics.  

"Hairspray" with it's positive message of racial integration, all inclusiveness and equanimity is just what this country needs right about now. This live broadcast could not have come at a better time. 

 

With all due respect to Blonsky, HAIRSPRAY was her first professional film gig.  The alleged rumors about her work ethic began on the film projects post-HAIRSPRAY.  I'm sure she was a doll and quite a delight during production of HAIRSPRAY.   

What are these 'rumours of her work ethic?' 

Anyone else think some of the 'magic' of a live broadcast is lost when we see such polished promos beforehand?  I mean why not just film it and broadcast it?  They're giving away too much.
