Behind the Scenes with Hairspray's Hayley Podschun!

[neoaelis]

hey... i was tammy in my school's version of hairspray!

[lsablan]

I got to see Hayley go on as Penny on Broadway, and she was mind-blowing amazing. I was stunned to find out she was only 20 when I met her at the stage door. RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!

[ThompsonJJ]

@lsablan She makes a great Penny! :)

[MarkH10]

That will teach you not to keep in touch with your family won't it!?

I haven't seen my niece in about 20 years and here she is on YT and on Broadway.

[hairspraydude1]

Yep. :) She played Tammy on Broadway, in the 2007 movie, AND in the national tour.

[ajay0813]

she is so pretty..

specially in the song "THE NEW GIRL IN TOWN"

(MOVIE)

[paypay305]

Wasn't she also Amber and Penny??

[hairspraydude1]

She understudied those characters. She played Penny in the Sacramento Music Circus' version of "Hairspray."

[tyobfarty]

shes acting like tammy is a major role.

[kickawesome]

Well, any role on broadway, whether 'major' or 'not' is kind of a big deal.

Same with movies.
