Ariana Grande announced on Thursday that she’ll be heading back to television when the live TV musical “Hairspray Live!” hits the TV screen this winter. The show will be airing on NBC on December 7 at 8 pm Eastern.
Ariana will be playing the part of Penny Pingleton, which is quite exciting! The last time we saw this role being played it was by Amanda Bynes back in 2007. She was so excited to announce her role that she sent multiple tweets out about it. One of those tweets talked about how she has been in love with Penny’s role since she was nine.
On Instagram, Ariana stated “I’ve never been more excited for anything in my entire life. #HairsprayLive #Penny Dec 7th @nbc.”
