ABOUT ANNIKA

Hi! My name is Annika Erickson, and I’m originally from a beautiful town at the foot of the Cascade Mountains called Snohomish, Washington. I graduated with my BFA in musical theatre from Ball State University this May, and I am currently based in NYC. I just finished up two amazing contracts (summer and fall) at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. In the fall, I had the blessing of being a lead singer in their mainstage Halloweekends show, The Shrieks: None Shall Mourn. Over the summer, I got to sing and doo-wop in The Swelltones. My other recent work was in the summer of 2023—I was part of the world premiere of Pickleville Playhouse’s original musical melodrama, Thick as Thieves, starring as Becky. I was also a part of Pickleville’s production of The Little Mermaid as Arista/Ensemble, as well as the Ariel understudy. In the summer of 2022, I was at Cedar Point as a lead singer/keyboardist in their country show, On Tap. At Ball State, my favorite role was Little Red in Into the Woods.

When I’m not on stage, I absolutely love weight-lifting, playing video games (Breath of the Wild is my favorite), playing my guitar/keyboard, and creating content on TikTok. I am also a self-taught DJ, and I have an absolute blast playing sets for my friends.
