NBC has announced its next live musical.

“Deals [are] still to be closed, but hopefully all that will happen in the next few days and we’re bringing you ‘Hairspray’ next December,” he told reporters. 

NBC brought “The Wiz Live!” to audiences in December 2015. “Peter Pan Live!” came to the small screen in 2014 and “The Sound of Music Live!” the year before.
