Nikka is a NYC-based performer who really likes telling stories. She has been lucky enough to do that on Broadway (Chicago, Women on the Verge...), Off-Broadway (Sweet Charity, Hello Again, Seussical), on stages all over the country (Peep Show, My Paris, The Jungle Book, A Chorus Line, Into the Woods to name a few), a few screens here and there ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "Divorce," "Unforgettable," "Smash," "Live from Lincoln Center."), and on the occasional recording. She is also a labor leader, wife, crazy cat lady, and great lover of assembling IKEA furniture. She thinks Bill and Ted got it right: Be excellent to each other. nikka-graff-lanzarone.com/ @nikkalanz
