Whether you know the sunny talent of Nicole Parker from MADtv or her work on Broadway backing up Martin Short in Fame Becomes Me, you undoubtedly love her for her quirky sense of humor. Now she is getting a chance to pull out all the stops in her first big Broadway leading role—and it’s not just any old part. Parker is bewitching Broadway as the high-flying Elphaba in the smash-hit musical Wicked. We caught up with the new green girl during her first week of performances at the Gershwin Theatre, as she graciously allowed us to sit in during the greenifying process in her dressing room. So hold on to your pointy hats, Wicked fans, this one’s for you!
