Last night I had an entire rock band AND a folk band, as well as a large cast of singers perform my original musical theater pieces. It was maybe a little ambitious… but oh so worth it! One of my favorite moments was this quiet piano/violin duet with @mattliuthings . I faced my fear of playing piano in front of an audience and poured my soul into the premiere of this deeply personal song called “Ghosted,” featured in “The Impatiens.” Thank you to @breakingsoundnyc and @pinkfrogcafewilliamsburg for inviting me to perform! More vids from the epic night coming soon! #ghosted #originalmusic #newmusicaltheater #theimpatiens #folkrockmusical #breakingsoundnyc #pinkfrogcafe #pianoviolinduet #actormusician #femalecomposer

What better time to share a new song than when in the heart of Nashville? Check out a sneak peek from my new musical, “The Impatiens,” entitled, It Could Have Been Yesterday. The show is about a folk rock band weathering a reunion concert twenty years after the falling out. They haven’t spoken since. Until now. Think “Once” meets “Nashville” meets “A Star is Born.”
Thank you to @chasethewolfe for the vocals and sultry stares and @frankiesweets for the orchestrations and engineering! Music and lyrics by yours truly.

A truly perfect birthday 🥰 From family dinner at Oscar Wilde’s to my cast surprising me with song and Magnolia cupcakes, to a room filled with my favorite talented people singing their damn faces off… I only wish I could remember all of it! 🤭 Also, Titanique was incredible in its new home! Those voices!! #nycbirthday #spacekaraoke #talentedfriends #broadwaybelting #titanique
Being recognized in a review is such a lovely birthday present!
“Rori Nogee is wonderful as Olivia, Matthew’s best friend and emotional anchor throughout much of the story. Their relationship feels deeply lived in, full of affection, resentment, worry, and years of accumulated exhaustion. Some of the strongest scenes in the play are simply the two of them trying and failing to communicate with each other while clearly loving each other anyway.”-Hi! Drama
Wow, it’s almost as if that situation exactly mirrors something that happened in my life and gives me a very visceral sense memory every night when I’m playing this role! 😏

Proof of April 💐🌻🌷
Opened a show! Come check out the beautiful brand new play, @mistersnickersplay running through May 17th at The Wild Project and Urban Stages! 📸 @austinyourface . Then, did some promo for the next project, @mcmusicalofficial , a bananas musical parody. 📸 @jetpacksandjpgs Managed to squeeze in some theater and made a few other happy memories as well…before getting the flu. 🤧 #mistersnickersofnyc #mcmusical #thelostboys #happyopening #aprilphotodump
Thrilled to share that A Sidecar Named Desire, a sharp and compelling short play by @roareen , has been published online in Apricity Magazine.
Set in a Hell’s Kitchen dive bar, the piece explores power, perception, and the subtle art of manipulation with striking precision.
Rori continues to build an exciting body of work, including Siren’s Den, Aftershocks, and her new musical The Impatiens, and we’re proud to champion her voice at Popson Productions.

First day of school! Honored to bring a role to life in a beautiful new play by @mfraimondi , and get to act amongst some Broadway vets I have long looked up to! Our titular character is designed by @aaronhaskells (Life of Pi) 🦮The team is top notch and the design elements are going to be stunning. Follow @mistersnickersplay and stay tuned for ticket info! You can catch us at The Wild Project in The Fresh Fruit Festival, followed by a run at Urban Stages. Bring tissues ❤️🏳️🌈
My role from the breakdown: OLIVIA OLIVIER-effervescent, queer icon / Broadway diva with a killer voice, think a Buddhist version of Eden Espinosa or Natalie Joy Johnson. Deeply loyal, resilient, and sensitive, she is committed to her Buddhist practice, while navigating a more inexplicable connection to the spiritual realm.

Scenes from the initial self-tapes that resulted in two bookings in NYC! I am so excited to jump into a dual role in a developmental workshop of a musical parody this fall, and a challenging role in a new dramatic play this spring! I look forward to collaborating, creating, stretching myself in new ways, and saying, “I can’t, I have rehearsal.” 😆 I will announce the pieces and ticket info soon 🤭 🎭 #newbeginnings #nycactress #comedicanddramaticactress
