Unnaturally Green by Felicia Ricci
In January of 2010, a wide-eyed English grad went from peddling software in NYC to understudying the lead role in WICKED the musical -- her first professional theater gig (ever). UNATURALY GREN is the humorous account of the entire journey, from her pit-stain-filled audition to the bittersweet closing night. Author Felicia Ricci wears her heart on her sleeve as she tackles the role of Elphaba, WICKED's green-skinned heroine. She leaps countless hurdles, both professional and personal: conquering the Songs of Death, weathering a trans-continental Week I Didn't Poop, enduring the artistic limbo of understudying, and -- worst of all -- meeting the man of her dreams. And all the while learning, time and again, what it means to be green. Hop into the mind of an over-sharer as she discovers Broadway's Man Behind the Curtain -- and the thrill and terror of personal growth.
Felicia Ricci received her B.A. in English from Yale University, where she won the J. Edward Meeker prize for nonfiction and the Louis Sudler Prize for the arts. She performed the role of Elphaba over 40 times, each time eating a banana precisely one hour before curtain.
