Adrianna played the role of Celie on the national tour of The Color Purple and then joined the North American premiere cast of Six as Catherine of Aragon. She continued with the production to Broadway and left the show this past summer to join the cast of Some Like It Hot.
Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, Some Like It Hot is the story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit.
