Nicole Snelson is an American actress, who works mainly in stage musicals. Snelson is originally from St. Louis, Missouri and received her training at the Boston Conservatory. Snelson's first major role on Broadway came as "Winnie Tate" in the 1999 Broadway revival of Annie Get Your Gun (musical), opposite Bernadette Peters. She also appeared on Broadway in the revival of Sweet Charity in 2005, starring Christina Applegate.

In 2007, Snelson originated the role of exercise queen "Brooke Wyndam" in the world premiere of the musical Legally Blonde: The Musical in San Francisco. She is perhaps best known for the role, which she brought to Broadway at the Palace Theatre later that year. She can be heard on the cast recording of the show, and was also in the MTV Broadcast, as well as the reality casting show Legally Blonde - The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods. In 2008, she left the company of Legally Blonde to join the National tour of A Chorus Line, as "Cassie", starting in May 2008. She was requested to audition for the role of Cassie, after she had tried out the role of Val for the Broadway revival before. She then appeared in 42nd Street at The Muny in St. Louis in June 2009, opposite Tony nominee Robert Cuccioli.

Snelson has appeared in several television shows, including as a guest on Desperate Housewives (2005) and as "Chelsea" on ABC's All My Children (2004). Snelson played herself in the movie Every Little Step and auditioned for the part of Val, but did not get the part. She was offered a role in the CW's Valentine, but her contract with the Chorus Line national tour forbid her from leaving, as the producers threatened to sue.
