Matthew Morrison Reunites with Marissa Jaret Winokur, More Original Hairspray Costars for ‘I Can Hear the Bells’: Watch

It was a special evening at Mama, I’m A Big Girl Now!, when the acclaimed Off-Broadway show — which reunites original Hairspray stars Marissa Jaret Winokur, Kerry Butler and Laura Bell Bundy — saw the appearance of yet another cast member from the Tony-Award winning Broadway musical’s original cast: Matthew Morrison.

The Glee actor joined his former costars two decades later at the New World Stages in New York City on Sunday, Dec. 8. He reprised the role he created, Link Larkin, for “I Can Hear The Bells,” which Winokur’s Tracy Turnblad sings after they first meet.

Butler and Bundy were part of the fun too, recreating the moves of their characteres, Penny Pingleton and Amber Von Tussle, respectively.

The whole moment was captured on video and shared on social media. “When Matthew Morrison comes to Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now!, everyone hears the bells!” Winokur wrote, before sharing full video of the moment.

Morrison is one of a few stars who have guested at Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now!, which Winokur, Butler and Bundy wrote together. The 90-minute extravaganza finds the trio revisiting the show that helped launch their careers and lifelong friendships they made along the way, while also reflecting on the journeys they’ve been on since in both their careers and their personal lives.

It’s a touching walk down memory lane filled with laughter and, as expected, powerhouse vocal performances from this trio of theatrical talents. In addition to songs from Hairspray, the ladies sing hits from their numerous on stage roles, including Beetlejuice, Wicked, Legally Blonde and more.

Since performances began in November, celebs like Jonathan Groff, Frankie Grande, Ross Matthews, and JJ Niemann have all made guest appearances at the show, stepping into the Link Larkin role for “I Can Hear the Bells.” Andrew Rannells, a former Link Larkin himself, even did the gig on opening night.

But Morrison, 46, took his cameo to the next level, returning to the stage for the evening’s closing number “You Can’t Stop the Beat.”

And, like in “I Can Hear the Bells,’ he didn’t just hit the notes for Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman’s beloved tune; he also recreated Jerry Mitchell’s iconic choreography.

It was also revealed that Morrison, who was the understudy for Link in workshops before being moved up to the role, had locked lips with Winokur, 51, Butler, 53, and Bundy, 43.

“I made out with all three of you!” he told them; they all agreed he was “the greatest kisser!”
