Eden Espinosa (born February 2, 1978) is an American stage actress, best known for her performance as "Brooklyn" in the Broadway musical BKLYN. An Anaheim, California native.

Stage career

Espinosa began singing at the age of three and performing at age five. She worked at local theme parks Disneyland and Universal Studios prior to being discovered by the BKLYN casting director. She worked on creating the title role of the musical at the Denver Civic Theatre for nearly two years. Before BKLYN's Broadway run at the Plymouth Theatre, Espinosa joined the original company of Stephen Schwartz's musical Wicked
, where she served as Idina Menzel's standby as "Elphaba." At one point, Espinosa continuously performed in the role for a month, while Menzel was busy shooting the film Ask The Dust in South Africa. Espinosa departed Wicked in August, 2004. BKLYN began its Broadway run on October 24, 2004 and closed on June 26, 2005.

Shortly after BKLYN closed, another opportunity for Espinosa to rejoin Wicked arose. Actress Stephanie J. Block was injured on the musical's national tour, and was unable to perform for the tour's stop in San Francisco. Espinosa temporarily replaced Block as "Elphaba" from August 5 to September 11, 2005.

On January 10, 2006 Eden Espinosa replaced actress Shoshana Bean as "Elphaba," returning to the George Gershwin Theatre once again.
