OBSESSED! Nicole Parker: When Ellen DeGeneres Played Elphaba (And Other Horror Stories)

[@pandapal13]

Ellen impersonation ON POINT!

[@mikaelacash3791]

Priceless! Absolutely priceless! That Ellen impression was spot-on!

[@coystrill]

From watching this, I think she should be a million times more well-known.

[@juliebrehove6775]

I would LOVE to see her as Christine Daaé in Phantom! She has the right look for Christine, too!

[@SlowxParentsCrossing]

"I've been thinking a lot... about Shrek." In which Fiyero reveals his kink for green people

[@philippanuda]

"Fish orphans" -- literally the storyline of Finding Dory... voice by Ellen. O_O COOL.

[@bnorem09]

Philip Panuda more like the story of Finding Nemo.. released 8 years before this was recorded..

[@MTleader07]

That Ellen impression of the Wizard and I gave me EVERYTHING!!!!!

[@jamespart2]

Replayed 4:44-5:04 about sixty times in a row. Nicole Parker, you are a legend. That modulation is great. Stephen Schwartz, take note.

[@petermcgarry7985]

I'm screaming the singing along to the CD and then running into the kitchen when your dad comes home is too real

[@DevilMaskedgirl101]

". And what’s amazing is, when that happens at Wicked, it’s like an attempt has been made on the president's life. There’s like ten FBI looking people down on stage left gong ‘why did it happen?’ People showed up that I’ve never seen before. It was like the no fly team." I couldn't breathe! XD

[@lilysage1239]

She's soooooooo funny and talented and ugh her Ellen impression is sooo good

[@puellamagica3359]

the finding nemo parody of tomorrow, oh my god, i cry and i die

[@hughieplays5277]

I was SO lucky to get to see her in Wicked. She was wonderful.

[@mylord9395]

Wow! She's a hilarious comedian AND a singer?! Amazing!!!!

[@RumbleFish69]

Let me tell you right now, Anna Kendrick, whom I do love, but she totally had the way paved for her by this woman!

[@yvonnezkea]

When she's in character, she's totally IN character with all the quips and side remarks... Just amazing.

[@TheKayloooo]

"fish orphans" and Ellen DeGeneres... Nicole predicted Finding Dory

[@dakotaj-l9769]

The Ellen impression was perfection omg

[@PunchyPlayers]

We love Nicole so much. Got some of the biggest laughs ever on MadTV. Love her Ellen, Dorothy Gale and Julie Andrews! Thanks for giving us so many hours of enjoyment Nicole!

[@osahju914]

PunchyPlayers Is there footage?

[@cathalgorman9233]

Actual tears laughing; this is hilarious from the get go

[@DefyingGravity767]

"so you kinda have to stay away from....you know...death" LOL im dying she's hillarious

[@broadwayindie]

i think she MAY be a soprano...

[@santiagosancho2317]

So she basically wrote ellen's scketches all by herself

[@finnsaffelsipes]

I am so floored by her ellen impression

[@saigestewart627]

No good deed sounds so good with the modulation!

[@philollenberg]

I love how she further outs the taped cadenza in Phantom. 1:25

[@AlyssaJadeCasey]

This is probably the best video on the internet!

[@pip1278]

the one with Willemijn Verkaik is really funny too ^^

[@JordynsPoetryPannier]

Saw her live in Wicked. Awesome woman.

[@musicman7416]

i wonder if Ellen has seen this. HAHAHA

[@MacNair]

I've loved Nicole Parker since MAD TV. She is so fantastic.

[@duujo]

She’s the best! 🥰

[@jimjimmyjames59]

"Scared the hell out of Portia..." LOLOLOL

[@thepaper888]

If you go to audible and listen to "The Comedy Show Show" episode 6 "Turnt up" She raps and flows so perfectly and doesn't miss a beat. I promise you that you will not regret listening.

[@Riroraruro]

She is LOVELY.

[@uknowwho889]

this series should be called "OBSETH'D"

[@theatrechick288]

She's so awesome! She was a great Elphaba! Love this hahahahah!!!

[@BroadwayJonathan]

Andy Karl said "I've been thinking a lot...about the Lion King...I mean Cub! Lion Cub!" when I saw the show last September! Not even joking! EXACT same thing

[@carefreeconfusion]

The entirety of the title song is often recorded. The beginning is, as they use doubles to walk across the platform, and the real actors are rushing around backstage, and there is too much noise to sing live. Some productions then have the actors sing live until the final note, but others (Phantom 25, for example) record the entire thing. Also, all of the Phantom's voice-overs from backstage are pre-recorded as well.

[@DevilMaskedgirl101]

"So you kind of have to stay away from... You know... DEATH!"

[@lovesingread]

I met her last night! She's basically an incredible human being. :)

[@halkyBebu]

hahahah she's so funny and she can sing so well!!!

[@ilovefouettes]

That one dislike is ellen

[@phoenixdown117]

1:48 I'm not going to try that n..., well, *shrieks on pitch* HAHAHAHA Awesome.

[@tillyboos]

CANNOT wait to see her in Sacramento May 26th! YAY!!!

[@mds1978]

God I loved her on Mad TV! She is hilarious!

[@jimjimmyjames59]

Especially good after seeing her Dorothy on MADTV.

[@KryptoniteStuff]

She's so funny

[@mackenziebuchter8406]

I WAS DYING I COULD NOT BREATHE IT WAS SO HILARIOUS

[@andresfelipe619]

Too damn funny and so freakin talented!

[@ANightworkerslife]

Why have only seen this until now? Laughed so hard :)

[@RyanBrowne01]

omg Nicole is so beautiful! I love her!

[@ganbarugaming]

She’s so good at impressions, she should be on a skit show like maybe SNL? 🙃

[@yasminexlutalica]

THAT WAS PERFECT omg love her

[@hunter8749]

Hasn't one Elphaba dropped the broom during the flying portion of Defying Gravity?

[@RizwanJaganiViolist]

Hunter G. Jackie Burns right before take off because her cape got stuck

[@hunter8749]

Rizwan Jagani Okay, thank you! Happy Holidays!

[@jackdennis9286]

I think theres a video of Jemma Rix out there.

[@asharpmajor6740]

Charming woman. Just noticed Nicole Parker in Disaster Movie and wanted to know more about who she was. Surprised she hasn't become a big star

[@sapphael.]

THAT'S INCREDIBLE

[@ElphabaThropp512]

The tide will come out tomorrow so I gotta keep swimmin' "till tomorrow Where's my dad :P

[@jb7644]

To catch up from a modulation that was degraded to the right key is fascinating. For the audience it's like an added flare. To the performer its a fucking nightmare to keep that note and not loose breath when upping the key. Ayiyi

[@22jeyq]

I would have said "I've been thinking a lot, about The Phantom of the Opera"

[@jtco3]

Hahahaha "The Lion King" The same thing happened to Shoshana Bean

[@halkyBebu]

woahhhh omg she's amazing!

[@Geekette621]

And this is why I religiously watch Seth Rudetsky videos 24/7...

[@sephyr2006]

I am now a new fan! haha she's hilarious.

[@shinybadger6299]

Nicole rocks!

[@noptn]

This is the best thing ever

[@harlemhomme]

[@peytongaida7107]

[@Countfoscolikesmice]

her podcast is great

[@11Hoper]

JESUS!i need her.

[@FirstLast-kr1fw]

Nicole, so pretty.

[@disneydanny2]

iirc both the 2nd to last note in Think Of Me and the last note in the title song are both Pre-recorded

[@dansevise]

I'm in love with this woman

[@PartyUpLive]

I really miss her Comedy Parodies.

[@AngeloThomas]

They both talk really fast.

[@fineguy2696]

weird to see her outside of madtv

[@joneathann]

"On fly I step on the ground......sing for Jesus!"

[@yajirobi4071]

fun personality and laugh!

[@BrockMDol]

"HeY, I hAvEn'T hAd A nO-fLy ShOw!" That's literally like saying "Hey, it's real quiet here," in a hospital. You don't do it. 😠

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

DAMN she is funny and WHAT A VOICE!

[@leif1075]

What note is that at 1:51? E6?

[@waterbottle1067]

yep!

[@kmb1023x]

[@BowlerHatHatHatHat]

[@Jakthun]

This is amazing haha

[@ElphabaThropp512]

love her... so funny when she made fun of enchanted

[@osahju914]

MrShaun42088 Is there footage

[@35Owl35]

Wow, that no good deed :D wanna hear it^^

[@J0k394]

probably the only unrealistic ellen thing is the high note at the end, it's still too good :)

[@NairAthul]

With everything we know about Ellen now, she'd make a terrifying Hannigan

[@Grillchips]

HILARIOUS!!!

[@lynnlRDR-RDR2]

haha she is crazy or a nerd but in a good way

[@saphiragirl3]

Does anyone know what her vocal range is?

[@inlovewithJLT]

If they ever make a Finding Nemo sequel and Ellen DeGeneres can't/won't do Dory's voice Nicole would be the perfect replacement!

[@buenahschoir]

Lol! The Matzo Man!

[@RScott41]

Nicole Parker as Christine Daae. Hmmm, interesting thought.

[@osahju914]

makeup_ry_design Did she play that part?

[@marcsoyeah]

mirandasings looks like nicole
