Bio:
Erica is an actress and singer based in New York City. She has entertained in many venues around the city and also performs regionally all over the country. A native of Miami, Florida, Erica's passion for performance began very early. Selling out shows by the age of four (in her living room), she developed an insatiable affinity for the stage. This continued throughout high school where she received prominent awards while competing in Florida State Thespian competitions and performed in several school and community theatre shows. Her passion brought her to study the arts in college. A graduate of Syracuse University, Erica holds a BFA in Musical Theatre. In her final semester of college she participated in the Tepper Semester, Syracuse's unique and intensive program in New York City. Through this program she had the opportunity to work with an accomplished faculty of theatre professionals including Daisy Prince, Tom Kitt, James Calleri, Charles Tuthill, and Adam Guettel (among others). When not away doing musicals, Erica works in piano bars around NYC and also performs with the USO Show Troupe, traveling to entertain members of the military, veterans and their families. Always singing, she's grateful to be living the dream life in New York City and to see so much of the world while getting to do what she loves. |

Stuff other people have said About Erica:
"Erica Lustig creates the most complex and dynamic character on stage, albeit a secondary one, with Marcy, and her voice is astounding." -Encore Michigan
(on Erica as Marcy in "Dogfight")
"Lustig, a redhead whose Casey looks ready to go clubbing the moment Reggie calls, gradually reveals the fears and vulnerability beneath Casey’s tough, judgmental exterior. Her solo Safer explores her angst, and Lustig makes the song another of the musical’s highlights." - The Miami Herald
"He is beautifully paired with Erica Lustig. She embodies the somewhat jaded, prickly, and emotionally defensive energy of so many people merely protecting themselves from being hurt. With that hurt in mind, she does a beautiful job singing and acting the song "Safer" as she contemplates her choices at hand." -Talkin' Broadway
(on Erica as Casey in "First Date" at Actor's Playhouse)
"All the nuns are adorable, even sanctimonious Mother Superior (actress Tracy Bidleman), but "nun" are more charming than the meek-turned-emboldened Mary Robert (actress Erica Lustig) who beautifully belts out "The Life I Never Led" and the uproarious and rapping (!) Mary Lazarus (actress Susan J. Jacks)." -Arkansas Online
