25: Being a Mom on Broadway with Lindsay Northen ("Wicked")

Lindsay Northen finished her 7pm Wicked show, came home, paid the babysitter, and we were on the interview by 10:30 p.m. Lindsay's husband is also an actor, and their five year old daughter, Georgia, just finished kindergarten. Lindsay is in the ensemble in Wicked and is a Glinda understudy!

I couldn't wait to hear how in the world Lindsay and her husband, Jared Bradshaw, made everything work so seemingly smoothly. 

Lindsay insists it's just a "different kind of hard" compared to other working moms. She insisted it requires an "army of super-awesome babysitters" and sometimes tag-teaming sleep schedules with her husband. 

I was pretty curious, and probably a little nosy, but loved hearing about Lindsay's life in NYC, in Wicked, auditioning and landing TV opportunities, and more. Just a few of the questions I asked Lindsay:

• Is Georgia interested in acting?
• What support system do you have with other broadway moms?
• What happened to Glinda when Lindsay had to become Glinda in the middle of the show
• What is it like living in NYC with a young child
• Her favorite mom hack and Disney tips
• What she hopes is next for her career
• What it's like to be pregnant in a Broadway show
