Holiday Cabaret Series

An actor and classically-trained singer, Nikki has been praised for compelling interpretations of music across a variety of genres. Her vocal repertoire ranges from opera and art song to Broadway and jazz. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Nikki has taken on solo work and one-woman shows with alacrity, including J.S. Bach’s Cantata BWV 170 for Alto & Orchestra and a self-programmed cabaret of musical memories entitled Colored Lights. Other solo performances include Durufle’s Requiem with the Aspen Chapel and a recital of Wolf and Weill with Music in the West End. Recent theatre productions include the first U.S. reading of David Ireland’s Ulster American (Ruth) with Aspen Fringe Festival, Henry Award-nominated Constellations (Marianne) with Thunder River Theatre Company, Theatre Aspen’s Cabaret (Fräulein Kost), Venus in Fur (Vanda) with Aspen Fringe Festival, and Harold Pinter’s Betrayal (Emma) with Hudson Reed Ensemble.

Thénardier in Theatre Aspen’s Les Misérables, Agnes in TRTC’s The Fourposter, On the 20th Century (Lily), November (Bernstein), The Music Man (Marian), The Sound of Music (Maria), Into the Woods (The Witch), She Loves Me (Amelia). Raised in New England, Nikki studied voice with Marilyn Jewett before pursuing a degree in opera with Rita Lovett at Tulane University in New Orleans. She apprenticed with The Santa Fe Opera upon graduation where she was lucky enough to meet and sing with the love of her life, Jonathan Boxer. They now reside in Hermosa Beach, California with their incredible 8-year-old, Sonny, and his Boston Terrier, Eevee. Nikki is a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association and is currently studying Meisner technique under John Ruskin at the Ruskin Group Theatre in Santa Monica.
