I felt really bad about that because I felt like I had everything that I should want and what could possibly be missing? I remember talking to my mom about it. I remember my mom saying- Well Mandy, you need a job. Work is also a part of you.
I remember feeling really bad about that but I also wanted that part of my life. So I asked the universe to go back to work. I was diagnosed in October of I turned forty and my doctor asked me if I wanted to get a mammogram.
I had the option to get one since there was no prior history of breast cancer in my family. And I am so grateful that I did. A lot of women, especially moms, we put ourselves last in line and I definitely am part of that club. Bridget is mom to two little boys, Hudson and Brooks, and a champion of working moms everywhere.

Gonzalez: Definitely, definitely. I remember seeing Stephanie J. Block at a commercial audition, and she's like, "How are you? What are you doing? I can't believe you're out," and I'm just like, "Yeah! You know. Did you ever feel like this? Question: I know there are a lot of loyal fans.
Is there one fan experience that stands out in your mind over the past few months Gonzalez: … Oh, yes. Oh, my gosh, I've received so many fantastic letters.
It's an organization that stands up to bullying. This one girl wrote to me, and I think that she had cerebral palsy, and she said that she had been bullied, and she realized after seeing Wicked that it's really okay to be different, and that really touched me because, as an artist, you only hope that you can do something that affects people's lives.
To hear something like that —I consider her to be a lot braver in a lot of ways — but to feel that connection with a character that I'm playing is quite amazing. For more information go to www. Question: I would think that must be really gratifying. Gonzalez: For people to open their hearts like that, to tell you, "This happened to me," it's really incredible. Question: Now that you're coming to the end of your run, how are you feeling?
Gonzalez: I'm feeling excited, you know. I'm at the three-week stretch, so I feel like I'm kind of at the end of the marathon. I've gone straight from In the Heights to this, and it's been a good four years of just nonstop every night, and so I'm looking forward to finishing the race and seeing what's next. Question: Do you have other projects in the works, or are you waiting until you're done with this show? Gonzalez: Of course, of course. Yeah, I'm doing some voiceovers, I'm working on a concert, I'm writing some stuff for an album.
Question: Tell me about the album and the concert. Gonzalez: The concert is something I've actually been working on for a while. It's kind of, in a way, autobiographical. I'm looking forward to finishing that and then putting it up. I haven't had a lot of time. I've been pretty busy, so now I'm ready to sit down and do that. And the album is just going to come from that.
I'll be putting that together, too. Question: I know you've done some TV and film work. Question: How does the acting process compare for you, doing it for the camera versus in front of an audience? Gonzalez: Well, I think it's pretty much the same in the fact that you want to bring an honesty to whatever you're doing, but for the camera it's a lot more simple, whereas for the stage, you have to bring that honesty, but you have to make sure that the people in the third balcony can see that.
So it's just a broader lens [laughs], so to speak, and I love the film work because it's a lot more intimate. I don't know, I like doing both just so I can stretch my muscle as an actor, but I'd like to do a lot more film and TV.
Question: What advice do you have for the next Elphaba? Gonzalez: Oh, gosh. I would say to go in with an open heart, and just have fun and go along for the ride. When I left for New York, my mom gave me this book and in it, it had this quote that said, "Traveler, there is no trail.
You blaze the trail as you go. For more information visit wickedthemusical. The performances will feature direction by Richard Jay-Alexander with musical direction by Eugene Gwozdz.
