Musical Direction is by Yasuhiko Fukuoka. Alicia was born in Bedford, Ohio and grew up in sunny Stuart, FL. Her love for music started very young, her father was a drummer and singer in a band so she grew up around all the classics. After graduating from Martin County High School in 2007 she performed in over 30 productions at Indian River State College in 3 years. Her early departure from the college was due to one of the greatest moments of her life: She was called in 2010 to make her Broadway debut in the company of IN THE HEIGHTS at the Richard Rodgers Theater in NYC!

She's been a part of some amazing productions since the show closed, her favorites being Audrey in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, Carla in the Actors' Playhouse production of IN THE HEIGHTS (where she met now one of her dearest friends, the one and only Christie Prades!) and her most recent as Ensemble in the 1st National Tour of EVITA!

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, this triple threat has worked/ recorded in some of the most prestigious recording studios in South Florida singing and writing for top producers and singers in the Latin American market. She booked the lead role of Vanessa in the "In the Heights" musical in Miami, performing next to the original broadway and tour casts.

NYC: PENNY ARCADE AT JOE'S PUB: LONGING LASTS LONGER
Penny Arcade and her long-time collaborator Steve Zehentner, continue their development of Longing Lasts Longer, a passionate rumination on love, longing and the loss of New York's cultural identity at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Mondays, June 1st & 8th, all shows at 7:00 pm. In the post-gentrified landscape of "The Big Cupcake," where ideas too have been gentrified, Longing Lasts Longer is set in a New York disappearing under the weight of suburbanization, cultural amnesia and the politically correct straightjacket of consensus. An ode to the eternal seeker, Longing Lasts Longer is equal parts memoir, manifesto, cultural critique and Cri de Coeur, where Arcade's snake-bite observations create a nourishing euphoric rush of truth telling as visionary as it is inclusive and hilarious. Embedded into this rollicking landscape, a live-mixed soundscape of music grooves ranging from Al Green to John Lennon, jump, counterpunch and exalt, charting an emotional pathway for the audience and a new anthem to personal happiness. Driven by her magnetic rock n' roll energy, Penny Arcade creates a crack in the post-gentrified landscape where you can think, laugh and dance at the same time! There is a $20 cover.
