Formerly played the role of Gigi. She is the first to play both roles in Miss Saigon in the United States. She was born in Kanatawa Ken, Japan and at a young age moved to the States to pursue a dream in Music and The Arts. Mika graduated with a BFA from the Boston Conservatory of Music where she majored in Musical Theatre with a minor in Music Composition. She was seen in featured roles in productions such as A Chorus Line (Merry Go Round Play House), Rocky Horror Show (Palace Theatre, with P.O.E.T). Hershey Park (where she believes she developed Lactose intolerance from all the chocolate), Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat (Westchester Broadway Theatre) and of course at a local New York Deli as a Deli-girl (she is a bona-fide member of meat cutterÕs union). Mika studied the art of puppetry and performed with Kiddle Rock Productions for four years. She also saved the world from evil in Power Ranger, where on her quest, she acquired a battle wound leaving her two steel pins in her left knee which she says is a lot of fun at airport security. Mika thanks and gives lover to her family and friends.
