GOOD MORNING PLAYBILL. FACT: I eat, sleep, and breathe WICKED. Fact: Fiyero hair does not #wakeuplikethis
I walk out of my door and see HENRY the pup. Can you resist this face? Time to take him for a walk.
Let me introduce you to my roommate, Jason Garrett of Broadway's Big Fish and Evita. We like to take Henry on walks, talk about life, and get ready for our days. This is one of the best spots in NYC.
Before every Saturday show, Dawn Cantwell, who plays Nessa, and I go to Yoga. She's way better than me. But I've heard it said my child's pose is the best in the east.
Welcome to Shiz U! This is the hallway leading up to the stage level, with a list of everyone that has EVER been in the show.
The beautiful Gershwin theater before all of you are in it!
When I get to the theater I have to check on my girls! Here is the lovely Jennifer Dinoia - Spoiler Alert: She's not really green ;)
They just can't resist me.
Well Elphaba is dreaming of meeting the wizard - Fiyero is getting his mics on and prepping to go on - with the best stylist Kyle Skillin.
FIYERO SECRET: I have a tattoo of a cardinal on my left arm - but you will never see it because I cover it for every show. WICKED FACTS: Fiyero has tattoo's all over him in the book.
Before I go on stage - I like to watch the trailer for Spike's new documentary on JFK JR. He's my icon for Fiyero - a free spirit who is raised in royalty. It gets me in the right head space.
While Glinda and Elphaba are off to the Emerald City, Nessa, Boq, and I have TEA TIME every single show. Dawn and Zach have an amazing podcast showcasing the stories of castmates in Wicked - check it out!
Can you find the sleepy Alyssa Fox?
The one, the only, Peter Scolari. This most generous human being surprises me everyday, and today I learned he juggles!
Thank you for all of your support Wicked fans! 1 down - 1 to go!
I ran into Fyedka! Nick Rehberger from Fiddler on the Roof is a great pal and used to be my roommate!
Caught in the act.
In between two show days, Jenny's daughter Joules comes and hangs out in OZ with her husband Ryan. I spy a new elphaba in the works.
FACT: Halloween is my favorite Holiday, as you can see I am prepared. The only way to get through a two show day is Reese Cups and candy.
I took a visit to the wardrobe dept with the lovely Alyce and Kevin!
Wicked is a beast of a show - emotionally, physically, and technically. These four people who run stage management keep it all going seamlessly. Christy, MB, Greg, and Jen - you guys are truly the best!
Raymond Matsamura who plays Chistery warms up while the crowd anxiously awaits the 2nd show!
There are so many captions for this that I couldn't pick one.
"Jenny! How does it feel to sing Defying Gravity for the second time???"
Carrie St Louis and I have M and M throwing and catching contests. Our best is 5 in a row.
Last, but not least. You may remember Danny Quadrino as a Newsie, but this fella is now sporting every hair style you can imagine in OZ.
