BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN A NEW EPISODE DROPS!
On this episode I talked with Nicole about the moment she knew she wanted to be a theatre performer, her mom’s involvement in theatre and on Broadway and being exposed to theatre from an early age, getting cast as the lead in Thoroughly Modern Millie in school and why that role and show is so important to her, how Sutton Foster inspires her, how going to an arts school prepared her for the professional world of theatre, her favorite regional production she’s been a part of, her audition for Les Miserables where she covers 8 track and understudies Eponine, her first Eponine show, getting to perform at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, and MUCH MORE.

Nicole is a Southern California native who is a recent graduate from Ithaca College for musical theatre.
Her whole life, Nicole has been immersed in the arts through her parents’ own performance backgrounds and her own personal theatrical discovery. She began dancing at age 4 and attended the Orange County School of the Arts in Santa Ana, CA from 7th-12th grade; ultimately gaining a genuine love and dedication to musical theatre, leading her to pursue it professionally.
Nicole is also a direct descendant of both Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. Her hopes as a performer is to somehow integrate the importance of her ancestry with her own gratitude for the arts.
