  18. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/29/theater/newsandfeatures/29eden.html?hp September 29, 2004 From Disneyland to Brooklyn, via Broadway By ROBIN POGREBIN Some might expect Eden Espinosa to play down that her road to Broadway lay through Los Angeles theme parks. At Disneyland, she portrayed Pocahontas and the Little Mermaid in stage shows. At Universal Studios Hollywood, she was featured in "Spiderman Rocks,'' not to mention the memorable "Beetlejuice's Rockin' Graveyard Revue.'' But Ms. Espinosa, who is starring in "Brooklyn, the Musical'' (now in previews), makes no apologies for her Mickey past. "Disney was great for me," she said in a recent interview. "It kind of was my college." Ms. Espinosa never took any voice or acting lessons, but doing five or six half-hour stage shows - sometimes outdoors in cold, rainy weather - provided a kind of boot camp vocal training. "It's made me who I am," she said. John McDaniel, music supervisor for "Brooklyn," said Ms. Espinosa's voice was unusually versatile. "She can growl notes way up high and she can float notes way up high," he said. "She sings with great soul." He's not the only one who is impressed by what he's heard. When "Brooklyn" had its out-of-town tryout at the Denver Civic Theater last spring, Penny Parker of The Rocky Mountain News said that Ms. Espinosa had "perhaps the finest voice I've ever heard in musical theater." John Moore in The Denver Post wrote: "The youngster's future as a Broadway star is about as inevitable as stars on a clear spring night." Ms. Espinosa got the part of Brooklyn - a Paris street singer who goes to New York City to find her father - after being called by a casting director to audition for the show's workshop at the Signature Theater in September 2002. "She opened her mouth, and I think she probably got the part in about five notes," Mr. McDaniel said. "With her particular innocence and clarity of voice and honesty, she became 'Brooklyn' right then and there." But she started out as Anaheim. The granddaughter of Mexican immigrants, Ms. Espinosa, now 26, was a childhood ham, enlisting her little brother for her living room performances and directing her relatives when to applaud. She sang in the large nondenominational church where her father, Eddie, was a pastor and wrote religious songs. Her grandmother, who has always spoken to Ms. Espinosa in Spanish (although Ms. Espinosa replies in English), took her to dinner theaters, opera and the Los Angeles "Nutcracker" every Christmas. Her uncle was a Kid of the Kingdom in Disneyland's variety shows and would take Ms. Espinosa backstage when she was a child. (Her second cousin played Mickey Mouse and Minnie there.) Ms. Espinosa's first job, at 17, was as a Christmas caroler in a Disney parade called Christmas Fantasy. "It was a very big deal to me," she said. But she had set her sights on New York City. "I've always just had a goal - this is what I want and that's what I'm going to get," Ms. Espinosa said. "When friends of mine are getting married or having kid No. 2, I sometimes wonder, 'Am I missing out on something?' But I always come back to the same place. No, I wouldn't have it any other way." She arrived in 2002, facing the usual bumps: the smiles she had to force as a restaurant hostess, the rude shoppers she had to tolerate as a Gap saleswoman. She fled her first apartment in Astoria, Queens, after less than a week because of food-throwing neighbors and a sizeable resident insect, living next in a Midtown Manhattan apartment with four other people. But the "Brooklyn'' workshop began to open doors. After that, Mr. McDaniel (also the former music director for "The Rosie O'Donnell Show") featured Ms. Espinosa in a program of songs at Joe's Pub, at the Public Theater, in February 2003. That spring he included Ms. Espinosa in "The Maury Yeston Songbook" CD, along with established performers like Betty Buckley, Alice Ripley and Sutton Foster. Ms. Espinosa made her Broadway debut as the standby for Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West in the Broadway show "Wicked," performing the role for three weeks straight last summer when Idina Menzel took a leave to make a movie. Given Ms. Espinosa's background in theme parks and church choirs, "Brooklyn" was unfamiliar territory. The musical, in which five street-corner performers tell a fairy tale, was written by Mark Schoenfeld, himself once a homeless street singer, and Barri McPherson, who discovered Mr. Schoenfeld performing in the subway and took him in. "There is so much of New York in it," Ms. Espinosa said. "Some things needed to be explained to me." Ms. Espinosa's inexperience made her just right for the part, Mr. McDaniel observed. "You just want to take care of her," he said. Having been part of the musical since its inception, Ms. Espinosa helped create the role and feels partly responsible for how the show is received. "It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea," she said. "It's very balletic, it doesn't stop. There is no blackout into transition, no intermission. There's no automation, no dragon, no bells and whistles. It takes a lot of imagination. It's a fairy tale.'' Ms. Espinosa is also aware of her own fairy tale experience. "I like who I've become here," she said. "And I see who I've become when I go back home. I feel like I go back. I see where I would be if I never came. I'd still be at Disney, singing with a cover band and doing industrials and singing background tracks for friends who are pursuing recording careers." Copyright 2004 The New York Times Company
