Nikki is thrilled to return to Davenport's for her third solo show, "I Want" Songs. Inspired by the idea of "asking for what you want and being prepared to get it," she'll take the audience on a journey through her own hypothetical future, setting up her dream roles, career aspirations, and ideal relationships through song.

Previously in the back room, she's talked about her anxieties in Lightly Medicated and sung some Great American Songbook Classics in Songs You Didn't Know You Knew. Nikki is a singer and actor around the Chicago area who performs in musical theatre whenever she gets the chance. When not working her day job as Marketing Manager of an e-commerce accounting firm, she's streaming Broadway cast albums in her apartment or taking a really long meandering walk through the north side of Chicago. She hopes to someday be able to afford a cat.
