This guide walks through every verified film, TV show, and stage credit she’s collected so far.

Here are six key details that define Erika Henningsen’s career.

What characters did Erika Henningsen voice?

Charlie Morningstar in Hazbin Hotel

• Henningsen voices Charlie Morningstar, the princess of Hell who runs the Hazbin Hotel — an adult animated series on Amazon Prime Video. She has voiced the character since the 2019 pilot and continues in the 2024 series (Apple TV).

Young Gloria in Girls5eva

• In the Peacock comedy series Girls5eva, Henningsen played Young Gloria in flashback scenes across the show’s three seasons (2021–2024) (BroadwayWorld).

Additional voice roles in animation

• Beyond Hazbin Hotel, Henningsen appeared as a voice actor in Fright Krewe (2023), an animated DreamWorks series on Hulu and Peacock (BroadwayWorld).

The implication: Her vocal training from Broadway directly shapes the emotional delivery of Charlie Morningstar’s songs, making the role feel sung rather than simply voiced.

What is Erika Henningsen most known for?

Hazbin Hotel and the role of Charlie Morningstar

• Charlie Morningstar is Henningsen’s most visible role to date. The character anchors the show’s premise: a princess of Hell who believes she can rehabilitate demons through her hotel. The series premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2024 and became an immediate cultural touchpoint (Apple TV).

Broadway performance in Mean Girls

• Before Hell, there was North Shore High. Henningsen originated Cady Heron in the 2018 Tony-nominated musical adaptation of Mean Girls on Broadway. The role earned her a nomination for the Outer Critics Circle Award (Apple TV). She performed the role from April 2018 through the show’s closure in March 2020.

Television appearances in Girls5eva and The Four Seasons

• Henningsen’s TV credits include recurring roles on Girls5eva (Peacock) and Harlem (Amazon Prime), plus guest appearances on Blue Bloods, FBI: International, and That Damn Michael Che (BroadwayWorld). She is set to star in the 2025 film The Four Seasons (Wikipedia).

The pattern: This dual success is rare and puts her in a position to bridge two fanbases that rarely overlap.

Is Erika Henningsen married?

Marriage to Kyle Selig

• Yes. Erika Henningsen married actor Kyle Selig on May 22, 2022 (Wikipedia). Selig is also a Broadway performer.

Wedding details and timeline

• The couple met while performing together in the Broadway production of Mean Girls — Selig played Aaron Samuels opposite Henningsen’s Cady Heron. They announced their engagement in 2021 and married the following year in an outdoor ceremony (Wikipedia).

The catch: Their professional partnership on stage turned personal, but both continue to work in the same industry without apparent conflict.

What is Erika Henningsen’s Broadway career?

Mean Girls (2018–2020)

• Henningsen made her Broadway debut as Cady Heron in Mean Girls at the August Wilson Theatre. The musical closed on March 11, 2020, due to the pandemic. She performed the role for nearly two years (Apple TV).

Flying Over Sunset (2021)

• She appeared as Ann/Judith in the original Broadway production of Flying Over Sunset at Lincoln Center Theater (BroadwayWorld).

Les Miserables (replacement)

• Henningsen stepped into the role of Fantine in the Broadway revival of Les Miserables, opposite Ramin Karimloo’s Jean Valjean (BroadwayWorld).

Just in Time (2025)

• Currently performing as Sandra Dee in the original Broadway production Just in Time (BroadwayWorld).

Early stage work

• Henningsen made her New York stage debut in the New York Philharmonic’s production of Show Boat at Alice Tully Hall, conducted by Ted Sperling and later broadcast on PBS (John Such Artists).
• Regional credits include Beth in Diner, Nellie Forbush in South Pacific, Sophie in Mamma Mia!, and Nina in Dear World (John Such Artists).

The consequence: Her Broadway resume gives her a credibility that most voice actors lack, and it shows in the emotional weight she brings to animated songs.

When you’re playing a character like Charlie Morningstar, you’re not just doing a voice — you’re connecting her heart to the audience through song, and that’s something I learned from Broadway.

— Erika Henningsen, in an interview with BroadwayWorld

We met doing Mean Girls and by the time we were both off the show, we knew. The wedding was the easiest decision we ever made.

For fans of musical theatre who discovered Henningsen through Hazbin Hotel, the reverse question is just as interesting: will her Broadway audience follow her into more film and television work? With The Four Seasons arriving in 2025 and Just in Time running on Broadway, both audiences now have a reason to track her next move. For anyone deciding whether to watch her stage or screen work first: the answer depends on what you want — comedy in animated form, or live vocal power in a theatre seat. The trade-off is real, and Henningsen is making it work both ways.
