About
Born and raised on the east side of O’ahu, Erica begged her parents to move to LA and help her pursue a life of child stardom after seeing Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games (2012). Her parents wisely said, “No.” And she went on to do local community theatre instead.
College took Erica to the mainland, where after surviving 4 years of Midwestern winters, she was awarded a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Michigan for her bravery. She also read so many books and wrote so many personal essays that they gave her a lil baby English minor as a treat.
You can now find Erica touring North America as Wicked’s Nessarose, or yelling about coming of age love stories and mythology with her genius co-host/best friend on their podcast Seaweed Brain.
(Prior to landing in Munchkinland, the most important thing in Erica’s life was keeping her level 3 monk “Glory” Kayt Mori alive in the rough and tumble town of Brunkhollow. Stream the live play TTRPG every Sunday at 7pm EST.)
