Who Plays Tracy Turnblad? Meet Hairspray Live's Maddie Baillio!

Maddie has unfortunately been a victim of bullying in her childhood.

“When I was younger, I was bullied a lot and I let that stop me from doing the things that I wanted to do. And Tracy, she never lets anything stop her and she’s bullied constantly,” Maddie told People. “Because she doesn’t let anything stop her, she gets the guy and she gets to be on the show and she takes the world!”
