I sit down with Hannah Corneau in her dressing room at the Gershwin Theatre where she’s currently playing Elphaba in WICKED. She tells me about abandoning fear at thirteen years old, the joy of community theatre, the pride of playing Sally Bowles in college, & receiving the call with the news that she would be the next Elphaba on Broadway.
