With her role in "Hairspray," Snow shows her musical side in numerous numbers including a solo entitled, 'The New Girl In Town', a song previously cut from the Broadway musical version. She will soon be seen in the horror film 'Prom Night,' a remake of the hit horror film of the same name, starring Jamie Lee Curtis.
