Career
While in university, Blackman auditioned for the Canadian premiere production of  The Lion King, but did not get the role. In 2001, she auditioned again, and was cast in the ensemble. After that, Blackman then played Nala for a year, and then closed the show playing the role of Shenzi.

In 2017, she appeared in the musical, Sousatzka, in Toronto. The musical, which was poorly received, was intended to be pre-Broadway engagement for controversial producer Garth Drabinsky. Later on in 2017, Blackman played one of the Fates in Hadestown in a pre-Broadway engagement at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton. For the role, she learned how to play the accordion. Blackman made her Broadway debut as one of the Fates when Hadestown premiered on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre in March 2019. While
