That's right... I landed the role of Velma von Tussle in the CTLR Production of Hairspray! I went into the audition not expecting much because since the age ranges for the parts are either teenagers or mothers of teenagers, I fall right in the middle. It went the opposite way I thought it would (especially since the music director thought I was 18) and I got cast in a mom role... but not just any mom role... the villain! I must admit it made me feel very old (especially after I found out that the girl playing my daughter is actually older than me!), but we are both embracing our inner biyatch and the von Tussle girls are going to be the awesome! I've got big shoes to fill considering Michelle Pfeiffer and Debbie Harry played Velma in the movie versions, but I'm pretty stoked to belt out 'Ms. Baltimore Crabs'. We only have a month of rehearsals before Opening Night on July 12 so I will be a very busy girl this summer!
