Ovation Nomination
Last year, Erica received an Ovation Nomination for Best Leading Actress in a musical for her portrayal of Casey in "First Date" at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts. She had a blast attending the awards ceremony in LA with her cast, the show was nominated for 7 awards total!
"But, of course, it is the central pair in FIRST DATE that keeps us truly invested in the musical---an ovation-worthy testament to the lovely work displayed by lead actors Ginsburg and Lustig. Thrust together to play potential lovers, the two have (eventual) convincing chemistry and are increasingly engaging to watch together as the evening progresses." - BroadwayWorld
"Lustig and Ginsburg lend beautiful vocals in this musical and their comedic timing is spot on."
​ - La Mirada Blog
"his leading lady is every bit as sensational, Lustig's captivating Casey making it equally clear why the NYC-based triple-threat won 2013's New York Musical Theatre Festival's "Next Big Broadway Sensation" competition. (That Ginsburg and Lustig have stupendous pipes, tiptop comic timing, and terrific chemistry only makes their performances more splendid.)" - Stage Scene LA
In 2014, Erica performed her one woman show "This is 30" to a sold out 54 Below as a prize for winning NYMF's Next Broadway Sensation. The show was so well received that she was asked to remount it at the New York Musical Theatre Festival that summer and once again sold out at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. She played a final encore of the show in October at Don't Tell Mama and was consequently nominated as best debut female performer for the Broadwayworld Cabaret Awards.
