We’re not exactly sure if this one’s a mic issue or if Baillio just forgot the words, but there was a considerable silence during the show’s opening number, “Good Morning Baltimore.” While Baillio quickly recovered from the snafu, mics also cut out a few other times throughout the three-hour show.īaillio might have been singing her city good morning, but unless she wakes up at 3 a.m., we’re not buying it. Jennifer Hudson did not disappoint! The 35-year-old singer-actress soared as Motormouth Maybelle, showing off her unbelievable vocal range in “Big, Blond and Beautiful,” and “I Know Where I’ve Been.” Slay, J-Hud, Slay! Critics say “The Wiz” is NBC’s best musical yet.
Hough was as charming as ever as Corny Collins, backing up his already-impressive moves with a surprisingly good singing voice and a cool Oreo trick that we can’t get out of our minds (and he can’t get off his jacket. The TV musical did not disappoint with Ricki Lake and Marissa Jaret Winokur’s cameos during “Welcome to the ’60s,” which was quick enough to pay respect to the former Tracys, but keep the focus on Maddie Baillio. The Tracy Turnblad tribute was almost too much for us to handle. Their smooth harmonies, coordinated outfits and jazzy moves left us wanting more. They may have sang backup, but these ladies in red took center stage in almost every musical number.
