Erica Schaeffer
She/Her/Hers
Actor. Singer. Dancer.
The Wayward Artist's Next to Normal
"Erica Schaeffer, who plays Natalie, has a wonderful voice and sings beautifully throughout the production space."
- LA Theater Bites
"Supporting performances are all-around winners...Schaeffer's achingly vulnerable Natalie is more than able to meet the considerable vocal challenges of Kitt's high note reaching melodies."
-Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA
"The ensemble is uniformly strong, with Wyn Moreno's Dan and Erica Schaeffer's Natalie contributing particularly passionate and fully formed portrayals."
- Joel Beers, OC Weekly
Ms. Schaeffer is a true double barreled shotgun when it comes to performance and vocals. Her attention to detail is amazing. Her own anthem, "Superboy and the Invisible Girl," was the musical number that I still can't get out of my head, and her flawless execution of it is certainly the reason why."
-Chris Daniels, The Show Report
Chance Theater's Parade
"At Chance, Everman and Schaeffer aren’t just a tense, ill-at-ease Leo and quiet Southern belle Lucille; the scenes of the two falling in love as if for the first time are genuinely moving, albeit tinged with melancholy."
-Eric Marchese, OC Register
"Their voices twine, gorgeously, in "All the Wasted Time." Here, as always, Schaeffer displays a crystalline voice and true heart; Everman brings a finely calibrated performance to its penultimate moment."
-Daryl H. Miller, LA Times
"Schaeffer's portrayal is perhaps the most three-dimensional and well rounded of those seen here... a Grade-A vocal force to be reckoned with...Her heated benediction, "Do It Alone" is a bonafide highlight."
-Leo Buck, Independent Reviewer
"Allen Everman vanishes inside Leo's painfully repressed, socially awkward skin opposite Erica Schaeffer's mousy- turned-radiant Lucille, and both sing quite gloriously indeed, never more so in their deeply moving, gloriously sung "All The Wasted Time."
-Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA
