Nikki Blonsky, the actress best known for her role in the musical movie version of HAIRSPRAY, will join the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles for a screening of the film. LAist reports that the event will take place on July 31 during an 8:30 screening at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

"We are delighted to screen this wonderful film in such a unique setting with Nikki Blonsky, herself,'" GMCLA Executive Director Thom Lynch said in a statement. "We are deeply grateful to HBO and Hollywood Forever for their generous support of this family-oriented event."

In addition to starring as Tracy Turnblad in the 2007 movie musical version of Hairspray, Blonsky recently starred in the ABC Family series "Huge."
