Blonsky hails from Great Neck, New York. She graduated from Great Neck Village School in June, 2006. She has done local theatre at both levels (youth center) and Great Neck South High School, and beat out thousands of hopefuls for the role in Hairspray. She learned that she got the role from the producers via the internet at the Cold Stone Creamery, where she also works during her after school hours.[1] The announcement was made public on the June 8, 2006 edition of Entertainment Tonight; the show's crew went to her workplace to film the surprise announcement.
