A Little About
Erin Lee
Growing up I was drawn to golden age musicals. I'd spend my sick days watching That's Entertainment with Kelly and Astaire on repeat, loving the art form and wishing that those films were still made today. Singing and dancing was all I wanted to do, and I found my way to the stage by the ripe age of 3. If requested I'm sure my mom could find a video of me singing "Castle On A Cloud" in the itchiest costumes ever forced to wear by mankind.
My passion for musicals continued to grow and I ended up majoring in musical theatre at the University of Washington, while performing at multiple community theaters across the Seattle area. There I learned that my voice had a very particular set of skills, as I played multiple flip-gendered roles and could hit the odd range of notes with ease. Here I played dream roles I never even knew existed for me, such as Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, Guido in Nine and Molokov in Chess.
Taking Shakespeare and Ibsen classes in college I grew an even deeper love for acting. My dreams of being a chorus girl flipped and all I wanted to do was obsess over the psyche's of these complex humans over text. So, I made my way to the big apple to study Practical Aesthetics at the Atlantic Acting school.
Don't worry, the musicals were still a thing. I'll be on the Oscar stage just begging someone to cast me as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde the Musical, no pay necessary. I quickly became acquainted with some NYU Composer grads and was doing workshops for new musicals whenever I got the chance. I love the possibilities new works give me to play. I can bring my authentic self to a character more than with a standard book musical. I don't have to be my version of Kristen Chenoweth or Idina Menzel, I can just be me. Plus, my snappy timing and creative wit proved to be beneficial on the developmental floor.
Then this thing called Covid hit, I became a severe alcoholic, and learned to battle with the deepest, darkest parts of myself that time wouldn't allow me while in school. Training is great, but the journey I went through over Covid is what made me the artist I am today. Through this, I learned artistry is just as much knowing yourself as it is knowing the work. I now see the world through a new lens that I couldn't even fathom before.
With time under my belt and opportunities overflowing in Los Angeles, I moved to California in 2023 and haven't looked back. I'm now in a rock band, still performing in musicals whenever I get the chance, and am doing film and television work whenever it pops into my sphere.
So whether you need someone who looks like she's 22 but has the withered old soul of a 50 year old, or a pixie with a 5 octave vocal range, I'm you're gal. And am deeply excited for the projects ahead.
