baby niki! my first dance class.
still pinching myself! Tracy Turnblad on
the 20th Anniversary Tour of Hairspray
Hey there! Glad you're here!
As a NYC based performer who grew up in the blue mountains of upstate NY (near the iconic Woodstock), I realized early on that theatre was my forever. I continued my education at Montclair State University, where I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in American Sign Language.
Most notably known for my 2 year run as Tracy Turnblad on the 20th Anniversary tour of Hairspray, I'm incredibly passionate about creating work that sparks joy, moves, and makes people think. I hope the work I do with my art helps shape the world for the better!
I am also passionate about iced coffee (even in the winter), cozying up with a book or puzzle, learning any and all new things, and dogs (even created an Instagram account documenting the new furry friends I met while on tour with Hairspray)! Follow my social media (@nikimetcalf on all platforms) for more behind the scenes into my life!
