Penny in Hairspray
Bay Area Musicals, Ohlone Summerfest, & Pacific Coast Repertory Theatre
SFBATCC Awards Nominee: Best Featured Actress in a Musical
“Melissa Momboisse, who plays Tracy's bestie Penny Pingleton, shines brightest in this cast…[she] garnered strong laughs in every scene she played...hysterical. Penny isn't the fastest chip on the motherboard, and Momboisse has a dozen different takes on blank looks of incomprehension that make her a joy to watch.”
- Patrick Thomas (Talkin’ Broadway)
