Sophie Aknin (ACK-nin) is a New York City-based actor.

She most recently made her Broadway debut in Beetlejuice after performing in the First National Tour in what was affectionately called “the unicorn track” — a track that had her shape-shifting as a cover for Lydia, Girl Scout, and Miss Argentina, all while kicking her face in the ensemble (and sometimes playing multiple roles in the same week!).

With other favorite past credits including Paper Mill Playhouse, North Shore Music Theatre, and Pittsburgh CLO, as well as a jaunt at sea with Disney Cruise Line, she is often finding herself in roles that require the chameleon; crossing vocal styles, age ranges, and genre. She is obsessed with the collaborative process of making theatre and is especially excited about the possibility of creating something new together.
