In January 2020, it was announced that Henningsen would be joining the Broadway cast of the new musical, Flying Over Sunset, scheduled to open in the spring of 2020 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater under the direction of James Lapine. However, the production's opening was postponed until the fall of 2020 after theaters were mandated to shut down by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on March 12, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Henningsen teamed up with She's the First, a non-profit organization committed to providing access to education to all girls, to raise money for their COVID-19 Response Fund by offering access to her exclusive living room concert with any donation amount on May 12, 2020.

In March 2019, she portrayed Helen, opposite Mean Girls co-star, Kyle Selig, in Stephen Sondheim's Saturday Night at Second Stage Theater, as a part of the theater's "Musical Mondays" weekly concert series.

In April 2019 Henningsen partnered with the African Library Project to create a library for St. Catherine’s School in Migori County, Kenya; a few hours away from where Cady Heron (her fictional character from the Broadway production of Mean Girls) lived. She raised money to pay for shipping costs and collected new and used books donated at the stage door of the August Wilson Theatre. In just over a month, Henningsen received over 1,100 donated books and shipped the "library" to Migori County, Kenya.

Henningsen has also participated in events supporting Artists Striving to End Poverty (ASTEP), Artists For Action NYC, Broadway Sings for Immigration Equality, and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BCEFA). In July 2018, she attended the 20th Broadway Barks, an annual event promoting the adoption of shelter animals. In December 2018, Henningsen participated in the second annual Broadway Beats Hunger concert, raising funds for the Summit Medical Group Foundation's "Food, Health and Hope: An Answer to Diabetes" initiative. She was a prominent advocate for the Actors' Equity Association's "Not a Lab Rat" campaign, petitioning for actors participating in developmental labs for new stage productions to have a higher minimum salary and also receive a share of the production's profits.

In February 2017, she appeared in an Off-Broadway staged concert of Jerry Herman's musical, Dear World, as Nina with the York Theatre Company, starring alongside Tyne Daly, Alison Fraser, and Ann Harada.

Henningsen returned to the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera (PCLO) in the summer of 2017, starring as Sophie in the company's regional production of Mamma Mia!. During her run at PCLO, it was announced that she was cast as Cady Heron in the upcoming Washington, D.C. production of Mean Girls.

She was later nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award for this role. The musical, which is based on the film of the same name, began previews on March 12, 2018, and officially opened on Broadway on April 8, 2018 at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City. During the weeks surrounding the Broadway opening of Mean Girls, Henningsen filmed a series of video blogs for Broadway.com entitled "Too Grool for School: Backstage at Mean Girls with Erika Henningsen," giving viewers a look backstage and at events like opening night, the cast album recording, and the cast's appearance on The Today Show.
