Marissa is known for her role as Tracy on Hairspray. She won a Tony, of course she is good. However, the show has gone on for years without her and the current Tracy, Shannon Durig, is absolutely incredible. I don't think they would have kept her this long if she was not great! Congratulations to Hairspray for their 2000th Performance! I hope Marissa is there to see how the role she originated has progressed! She will see they have done her proud!
