Heaven Lei Lucas is a Wisconsin native turned New York–based actress, dancer, director, vocalist, writer, content creator, and teaching artist. She fell in love with performing at age three, staging the “Heaven Lei Show” in her living room, where she could be anything: a popstar, a cowgirl, a comedian, a ballerina. That early imagination sparked a lifelong love of theatre, storytelling, and creating magic in every space she enters.
Professionally, Heaven has been performing for over 14 years, most notably appearing in the world premiere and original cast of Goosebumps the Musical. She has also stepped into commercial and brand work, including her recent role as an actor and model in Land O’Lakes’ “Farmcore to Table” runway show, celebrating farmers across America.
Having followed her passion, Heaven earned her BFA in Drama, with a minor in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies, from NYU Tisch. While at NYU, she served as a resident assistant and worked as an artistic associate with NYC theatre company What Will the Neighbors Say?, gaining early experience in devising and collaborative production. Furthermore, Heaven has received extensive training at prestigious institutions, including the New York Film Academy, Starz Dance Academy, NYU Tisch’s Experimental Theatre Wing, The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, and Blessed Unrest.
A passionate teaching artist, Heaven works with TADA! Youth Theatre, Marquis Studios, and Treasure Trunk Theatre. She designs theatre and dance programs that spark creativity, encourage reflection, and foster confidence. As a licensed special education aide, she values accessibility, empathy, and inclusion in every classroom, and loves witnessing the brilliance each student brings to the process.
Offstage, Heaven is an adventurous traveler, fitness lover, devoted dog mama, avid writer, and proud ice cream fanatic. Whether onstage, in front of a camera, or guiding young artists, Heaven is always seeking ways to move, inspire, and create joy.
