Dove Cameron snaps a cute photo with her on-screen mom and real-life idol Kristin Chenoweth while attending a “For Your Consideration” event for Hairspray Live! on Friday (June 9) in North Hollywood.
The ladies reunited with the cast of the NBC production to help drum up awards buzz ahead of the Emmy nominations.
Did you know that one of Dove Cameron‘s audition songs used to be “Love You I Do” from the Dreamgirls movie?
Well, after working with Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson on Hairspray Live, the 20-year-old actress told her about it and sang the song right in front of her!
“Sing dove! Dove told me ‘I love u I do’ was her good audition song when she was 11! So of course I had to have her sing it for me!” Jennifer wrote on her Instagram account.
Another Hairspray Live star who sang a song for JHud was Garrett Clayton, who belted out “And I Am Telling You” at a cast party. Watch that video after the cut.

Here’s the synopsis: Plump teenager Tracy Turnblad’s dream is to dance on “The Corny Collins Show,” a local TV program. When against all odds Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight and meets a colorful array of characters, including the resident dreamboat, Link; the ambitious mean girl, Amber; an African-American boy she meets in detention, Seaweed; and his mother, Motormouth Maybelle, the owner of a local record store.
