NBC's Hairspray Live! took home three awards, in categories celebrating Outstanding Hairstyling (duh), Outstanding Technical Direction and Outstanding Production Design (Tony winner Derek McLane was among the winners on this team).

The 70th Annual Tony Awards telecast, which was hosted by Tony winner James Corden, took place on June 12, 2016, airing on CBS. Hairspray Live!, based on the 2003 Tony-winning musical (which was based on John Waters' 1988 film) took to the small screen on December 7, 2016.
