In this week's edition, we caught up with Matt Shingledecker who is starring as 'Fiyero' in Wicked- currently playing at the Gershwin Theatre.

What is the first Broadway show you ever saw?

The 42nd Street revival.

What is your most unique pre-show ritual?

"Kee kee's."

What is your most memorable "the show must go on" moment?

When my tight white pants ripped just seconds before my first entrance in Wicked as Fiyero exposing my entire buttocks for all of Fresno to see. I modified the choreo a bit to not be too cheeky. ;)

What is the one role you want to play before you die?

It's ever changing but at this moment 'Chris' in Miss Saigon.

Who is your Broadway crush?

Gavin Creel as 'Elder Price' in Book of Mormon after seeing him late last year in Toronto.
