Espinosa credits her time performing at Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood with preparing her for her role in "Wicked," where, quite frankly, she kicks major derriere.
The piece plays up her time at the Mouse House, though it notes that she actually caught her break while working the "Spider-Man Rocks" show at USH. [Full disclosure: I reviewed "Spider-Man Rocks" for the LAT and panned the show, though, I did heap praise on the cast.] The piece also notes that Broadway's current Elphaba, Stephanie Block, also once worked as a Disneyland face character.
Feel free to share thoughts about theme park entertainment performers, or about "Wicked," in the comments.
