...this production's most electrifying find is Vanderbilt student Nichole Forde, who may well be the best Little Inez we've seen over nine-count' em, nine-productions! With charm and stage presence to spare, Forde sings the role, acts the role and, perhaps most importantly, dances the role with impressive results. She is, to put it succinctly, a thrilling discovery.
About Nichole
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Nichole has always felt the desire to share the art within her.
She started her career off as a gymnast and then found her passion for Musical Theatre at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School where she studied drama. Nichole then studied at Vanderbilt University where she found a way to continue to chase her dreams in the Nashville theatre world while she obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Child Development. She tried balancing theatre and corporate life, but later decided to take a chance on her lifelong dreams of being a Broadway Actress.
Her recent career highlight would be joining the Las Vegas Residency production of Jersey Boys at The Orleans Casino as their Dance Captain and Lorraine. Other works include: SUMMER: The Donna Summer Musical (Cruise Ship) 7th Avenue Dance Squad (New York Knicks); In The Heights (Regional) ; Cabaret (Regional); Anne of Green Gables (Off-Broadway).
Nichole hopes to touch, move, and inspire those she encounters.
