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

[@pandapal13]

Ellen impersonation ON POINT!

[@SlowxParentsCrossing]

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

[@juliebrehove6775]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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..

[@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.

[@musicman7416]

i wonder if Ellen has seen this. HAHAHA

[@MTleader07]

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

[@petermcgarry7985]

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

[@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!

[@cathalgorman9233]

Actual tears laughing; this is hilarious from the get go

[@TheKayloooo]

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

[@puellamagica3359]

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

[@DefyingGravity767]

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

[@lilysage1239]

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

[@santiagosancho2317]

So she basically wrote ellen's scketches all by herself

[@jimjimmyjames59]

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

[@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?

[@uknowwho889]

this series should be called "OBSETH'D"

[@broadwayindie]

i think she MAY be a soprano...

[@mylord9395]

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

[@hughieplays5277]

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

[@theatrechick288]

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

[@AlyssaJadeCasey]

This is probably the best video on the internet!

[@pip1278]

the one with Willemijn Verkaik is really funny too ^^

[@duujo]

She’s the best! 🥰

[@DevilMaskedgirl101]

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

[@dakotaj-l9769]

The Ellen impression was perfection omg

[@Riroraruro]

She is LOVELY.

[@philollenberg]

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

[@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.

[@ilovefouettes]

That one dislike is ellen

[@phoenixdown117]

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

[@yvonnezkea]

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

[@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

[@halkyBebu]

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

[@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.

[@JordynsPoetryPannier]

Saw her live in Wicked. Awesome woman.

[@MacNair]

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

[@lovesingread]

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

[@ElphabaThropp512]

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

[@KryptoniteStuff]

She's so funny

[@mds1978]

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

[@jtco3]

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

[@saigestewart627]

No good deed sounds so good with the modulation!

[@finnsaffelsipes]

I am so floored by her ellen impression

[@RyanBrowne01]

omg Nicole is so beautiful! I love her!

[@mackenziebuchter8406]

I WAS DYING I COULD NOT BREATHE IT WAS SO HILARIOUS

[@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.

[@andresfelipe619]

Too damn funny and so freakin talented!

[@yasminexlutalica]

THAT WAS PERFECT omg love her

[@tillyboos]

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

[@jimjimmyjames59]

Especially good after seeing her Dorothy on MADTV.

[@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

[@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

[@Geekette621]

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

[@joneathann]

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

[@AngeloThomas]

They both talk really fast.

[@ANightworkerslife]

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

[@shinybadger6299]

Nicole rocks!

[@sephyr2006]

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

[@sapphael.]

THAT'S INCREDIBLE

[@ganbarugaming]

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

[@lynnlRDR-RDR2]

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

[@22jeyq]

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

[@halkyBebu]

woahhhh omg she's amazing!

[@noptn]

This is the best thing ever

[@thisbetan]

I LOVE HER

[@Jos7h]

Every time I’m wheeeeeeezing!!

[@AprilDineOfficial]

i LOVE her!!

[@peytongaida7107]

The thing is the note is actually is an e6

[@FirstLast-kr1fw]

Nicole, so pretty.

[@kmb1023x]

i saw her in people in the picture. it was pretty bad. but she was great!!!

[@Countfoscolikesmice]

her podcast is great

[@disneydanny2]

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

[@BowlerHatHatHatHat]

I...have to watch this in half time...they talk so bloody fast!

[@dansevise]

I'm in love with this woman

[@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!

[@harlemhomme]

her "Helen" is a hoot!

[@CallMeJaii]

oh my god i love her

[@fineguy2696]

weird to see her outside of madtv

[@leif1075]

What note is that at 1:51? E6?

[@waterbottle1067]

yep!

[@Jakthun]

This is amazing haha

[@11Hoper]

JESUS!i need her.

[@felixfelicis3945]

[@PartyUpLive]

I really miss her Comedy Parodies.

[@yajirobi4071]

[@Grillchips]

HILARIOUS!!!

[@J0k394]

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

[@ElphabaThropp512]

6:06 LOL!! dying

[@saphiragirl3]

Does anyone know what her vocal range is?

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

DAMN she is funny and WHAT A VOICE!

[@SavvyDowning]

"Hello, I'm Jewish."

[@35Owl35]

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

[@MrShaun42088]

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

[@osahju914]

MrShaun42088 Is there footage

[@buenahschoir]

Lol! The Matzo Man!

[@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. 😠

[@NairAthul]

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

[@jamesrideout123]

She's hot as hell.
