Meet the Stars of Stage Door: How Nic Rouleau Played Matchmaker with a HELLO, DOLLY! Fan What's been the craziest shout out that a fan has requested of you so far?

A girl reached out to request a birthday message for her boyfriend. They had actually seen me in HELLO, DOLLY! in Los Angeles as "friends" - but that performance turned out to be their first date. Two years later and they're still going strong! It made me so happy to know that Dolly Levi was working her matchmaking-magic both onstage AND out in the audience!

Who are you a super fan of?

This is no secret -- Kelli O'Hara. Period.

What's something that even your biggest fans might not know about you?

I do the New York Times crossword every single day!

When it's finally announced that Broadway is returning, what's the first thing you'll do?

The first thing I'll do is cry tears of joy. Then I'll dust off my audition book and cry tears of terror.

Which show would you like to be in the audience for on re-opening night?

I will 100% be in the audience for THE BOOK OF MORMON when they re-open. They are all family to me and I can't wait to be there with (door)bells on.
