Good thing Haylie Duff got plenty of practice playing stuck-up Summer in "Napoleon Dynamite" — she's going to need it when she makes her Broadway debut in "Hairspray."

Hilary's older sister will play Amber von Tussle, the archenemy of the musical's main character, Tracy Turnblad, the show's producers confirmed Monday (June 12). Haylie joins the production at New York's Neil Simon Theatre starting July 18, for eight performances a week (Tuesday-Sunday, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday). And on opening night, Haylie can expect at least one friendly face in the audience — Hilary, who wrote in her blog, "I can't wait. I will be there ... with bells on."

Starting September 8, Haylie will overlap with "American Idol" runner-up Diana DeGarmo, who will reprise her role as Turnblad's best friend, Penny Pingleton.
