It’s been one year since Hairspray Live and now Link and Tracy are back together again!
Maddie Baillio made a trip to the theatre to see her love interest and co-star Garrett Clayton as he performed in a production of Sleeping Beauty.
“My love @maddiebaillio came to the show last night and I couldn’t be happier. #ForeverFriend,” Garrett captioned the photos of the two.
Maddie shared the pics on her account writing, “He’s one of those forever friends. So proud of my gare bear!”
Maddie also recently reflected on the Hairspray Live experience one year later.
“A year ago today, in this hour, Sean Hayes and I were sitting in a hair trailer with anticipation and nerves and excitement and adrenaline (pretty much just contemplating life and realizing that we were insane for what we were about to do). A few hours later, we made history. Cocktails followed. I’m in love with my Hairspray Live family and the story we told. ###GRATEFUL,” she wrote.
