About Me

The story of a star is not really the story of Nina West. Nina came from love and laughter, and has thrived on those humble beginnings ever since. Nina's love of the theatre began at a very young age. Her first starring role was in a family production of Alexis Fontaine's novel Clandestine Boudoir, a smash hit in Motel 6's and rest stops around the country. With the help of her mother and best friend Virginia West, Nina was able to pursue her dreams as a naïve and comical phenomenon that she still aspires to become. Nina has gone on to star in such Off-Off-We-Mean-Way-Off Broadway shows as Wheelchair Menace! The Musical, Afro-Puffs and muumuu's OH MY! The Musical, and My Life Was An Empty Page Until You Wrote On it! The Musical, co-starring Virginia West. High Street hits include Nina! The Musical, Nina! The Rock Opera, Drag! The Musical, Heels of Horror!, Nina West Network News, A Million Little Ninas, and the recent smash hit, NINA! The Confections Tour.
