Hayley has been on Broadway since she was 12 years old when she was cast as the standby for Louisa and Brigitta in The Sound Of Music! Only a short time later, she began her long association with the musical Hairspray. Starting with the First National Tour, playing Penny Pingleton and Tammy, followed by New Line Cinema’s 2007 film, the Broadway company (both playing Tammy) and finally finished it off at Sacramento Music Circus; once again, playing Penny.

Hayley also has been dancing since the age of five, immersing herself in jazz, tap, ballet, partnering, and competitive dance. In 2007, Hayley was Dance Spirit Magazines #1 choice to be their cover girl for the Broadway Issue. Her dance captain work, in Sunday in the Park with George, was highly noticed by the shows choreographer, Christopher Gattelli, that he offered her as assisting position for the musical 13. She has since helped Chris on a few other projects.

You may also know Hayley as the bubbly and popular Glinda in Wicked on the National Tour. Hayley has also been seen on Broadway in Hello, Dolly!, Something Rotten, Chaplin, Anything Goes, and Pal Joey.
