Another year around the sun, another year not understanding birthday math. If a 36th birthday means that I’ve completed my 36th year… am I actually 37??
Regardless, it was another year spent in my favorite city, blissfully busy pursuing my dreams. In the best month of the year, I attended Kelly’s opening night of Schmigadoon, got stuck there (see slide 3– didn’t mind) and celebrated turning 36 (37?!) with my favorite people.

Can’t put a price on escaping the arctic weather to run around theme parks for a week!!!
Okay yes, it was very expensive but getting to be in the sun, wearing shorts in February, and riding in the front row of every rollercoaster was an EPIC win.
GET IT?! 🎢☀️✨
Hilary Duff has been my idol since middle school, and seeing her back on stage (where she belongs!!!) after so many years and singing every word back to her in a packed house was one of the coolest and wildly nostalgic things I’ve ever experienced.
Swipe to the end to see baby Erika at her last Hilary Duff concert. She’ll make a more creative sign before the next one🩵🪩
2025! An excuse to post neglected photos and a moment to appreciate a year of music, a new home, a little travel, and a whole lot of gratitude for this city and the people I love 🩵
Went upstate for a wedding… left as a goat yogi and part-time wine critic 😏 A beautiful weekend celebrating love and visiting Ithacaaa! Bring on the fall!🐐🧘🏼♀️🍷💍🍁
The last month has been a dream! I’m beyond grateful for my first Broadway chair in @elfonbroadway , and thankful to share this sweet experience with such talented musicians and wonderful people who inspire me every Tuesday through Sunday and certain Monday’s around the holidays.
Thanks to my incredibly supportive family and friends for being my biggest cheerleaders and for always making me feel special! Looking up into the audience and seeing your faces warms my heart more than syrup on spaghetti 🍝❤️
As Buddy says, “I just like smiling. Smiling’s my favorite!” And right now, I can’t stop.
“When everything dropped away and all there was was the music…that was the best.”
Happy to be back in Jersey living my best Reed 2 life alongside these incredible musicians! We’ve ditched the orchestra pit and concert blacks. We’ve got choreo (omg there’s CHOREO), we’ve got costume changes, and we’ve got a pretty cool on stage feature as Frankie Valli’s horn section! 🎷🎤🎺 Come for the Jersey Boys, but stay to watch this Jersey Girl dance on stage with a saxophone twice her size 😉
Hit an exciting milestone moment in my career this summer, getting the opportunity to make my BROADWAY debut subbing on The Wiz! Couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and positive environment to walk into for the first time (also hello 19 piece orchestra, what?!) It’s been a dream of mine to play on Broadway ever since I played my first musical sophomore year of high school and it’s been quite the yellow brick road getting here! Love to all my family and friends who have been my biggest supporters since day one. I’m in constant awe of the insane talent, passion and dedication to the arts of my colleagues and beyond grateful for this community that I’m surrounded by here, as NYC continues to inspire me (and kick my ass) everyday. 🦁👠🌪️🌈
Proof that the AMC A-listers can do more than sit and stare at a screen. 42k steps / 15 miles from top to bottom (and a little side to side 🙄) we traversed the entire length of Manhattan, starting close to home at Inwood Farm ☕️ and ending in Battery Park with the ever so present Lady Liberty 🗽 10/10 dogs were barkin by the end, but highly recommend. Great day with an even greater crew 🫶🏼
