Nikki Blonsky

Nikki: I was an ice-cream scooper at a Coldstone Creamery in Rhode Island. We make it all by hand. Whatever is your fantasy at Coldstone, we make it come true...well, you know what I mean!

Nikki: I grew up in Great Neck, and I've been singing since the age of three, and I was kind of the go-to girl in Great Neck, if you will, for singing at weddings and funerals...you know, whatever I could help the community out with!

Nikki: (about working with such big-name stars in "Hairspray") Well, of course I was excited. I was nervous, but more than anything, they did a nationwide search for my character, so they saw a lot of girls, so I wanted to prove to them that they had picked the right girl, There was no time for me to be starstruck or crazy nervous, so I just went out there and treated them like normal people. But I mean, they were still Christopher Walken and Queen Latifah!
