Familiar face in SPFHS production of 'Hairspray'

Christine's boyfriend Matt played the featured role of TV host Corny Collins in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School Repertory Theater production of the musical "Hairspray."

The company put on six performances, all sell-outs. The students did a fabulous job - the acting, singing, dancing and music by a 16-piece orchestra were all top notch.

Former SPFHS student Marc Shaiman wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics for the show, which ran on Broadway from 2002-2009.
