"It's a shame the production didn't treat her well and she never wanted to talk about it, even as an adult." ???source omg??? Ive obsessively searched about the musical and have heard nothing about this! I had no idea she was being mistreated...
Well first of all she was originally understudy for 15 year old Annette Ferra who quit over being spontaneously told she would have to be in a nude stocking on stage when they decided to re-stage a scene. Meaning they wanted her to be entire nude in a somewhat see-through mesh bodysuit. This does happen in Musicals but is ENTIRELY inappropriate to spring on an actor spontaneously or EVER ask of a child. Ferra/her team refused and was essentially fired over that. She tells the story herself on "The Lolita Podcast". I'm not sure if they kept the exact staging for Boston but it sounds like they did. That Nickerson never wanted to talk about it as an adult I know from one of the people leading the development of the revival musical who is an expert on Alan Jay Lerner and researched the show in detail. We talked personally so the only source I have is my own Zoom recording. But given what Ferra has said there was obviously no care for the child actors or their comfort.
It was also just a WILDLY chaotic production and given what I know form my own experience working on Broadway type shows 12 hour days and constant rewrites DURING rehearsal would have been the norm and probably not fun or appropriate. And I know one of the original producers (not the writer or director) was one of the typical creeps who wanted to normalise the story and did the whole "we need to find a child actress who is SEXY so everyone can understand why humbert would bang her since she has titties" and while he was obviously overruled with Nickerson just the fact that a guy like that was there and had any control in the production doesn't bode well either.

Episode 641: Your time is now
In #2, high-born ne’er-do-well Roger Collins saw governess Victoria Winters standing at the edge of a high cliff overlooking the ocean. She didn’t know he was there until he startled her by asking her if she was planning to jump. As the weeks go on, Vicki will learn of other women who have leapt to their deaths from that spot, including a story that over the years two governesses were among them…

Whatever happened to Nora Collins?
We al know that Jameson Collins was the father of Elizabeth and Roger Collins. But whatever happened to his sister Nora Collins (played by Denise Nickerson)?
Here’s my theory… Nora’s full name was Catherine Nora Collins. Due to the horrific experiences as a child, she never married. As an adult, she moved to Boston where Carolyn and David occasionally visited their Aunt Catherine.
