What People Are Saying

'“Adrienne Velasco-Storrs captures all that love and pain as Diana Morales with her solo in "What I Did For Love." It's a mesmerizing performance, with all those related emotions laid bare for the audience to experience. I've never felt that this number resonated for me more than with Velasco-Storrs' take on it.”

-Rachel Weinberg, Broadway World

“Finally cast in the leading role she was born to play, the charismatic, mega-talented Adrienne Velasco-Storrs is terrific as Diana Morales. Adrienne creates a determined and unflinchingly candid character, who not only tears up the stage with her dancing but provides real friendship to her fellow competitors. Whether belting out “Nothing,” a poignant song about how an insensitive high school drama instructor almost broke her down; or melting our hearts, leading the ensemble in an anthem to why theatre artists do what they do, “What I Did For Love,” this gifted triple-threat in the maroon jersey gives one stellar performance. “

- Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

“The two best songs in the show, “Nothing” and “What I Did for Love” are both sung by Morales, played by Adrienne Storrs. Storrs bursts with energy throughout the performance, and her powerful singing voice and nuanced physicality bring the star character to charming and colorful life.”

-Jessie Bond, Spash Magazine

“Natalie Nucci and Adrienne Storrs fill every frame with vitality, obvious talent, and gone, jaded eyes loaded with attitude. “

— Jeff Smith, San Diego Reader

“This Puck also seems to have a bit of a relationship with First Fairy (Adrienne Storrs), whose singing and dancing and enhanced role here make her a more focused character than one usually sees. These two, whose relationship is based on playfulness, make for an interesting punctuation mark on the night of romantic frivolity.”

-Karen Topham, Chicago On Stage

“As Roxie to Nucci’s Velma, recent USC grad Storrs makes a noteworthy professional debut on the Welk stage. Not only is Storrs a bang-up dancer, she’s got what they call a “signature voice” (hers is spiced with a sexy rasp)

As for those Velma-Roxie duets, with Nucci and Storrs selling them for all their worth, “My Own Best Friend” and “Nowadays” earn the duo well-deserved cheers.”

-Stage Scene LA Steven Stanley

“There are so many songs to love and Adrienne Velasco-Storrs is commanding in two. She is cheeky in “Nothing” and full-on breathtaking in “What I did for love.”

- Katy Walsh, The Fourth Walsh

“As far as vocals go, Adrienne Velasco-Storrs’ Diana got the show’s two big opportunities to sing — Marvin Hamlisch’s standards “Nothing” and “What I Did for Love” showed that she can sing and brought the house down, as they’re supposed to do.”

-CJ Burroughs, Buzz Center Stage

“Titania’s array of Fairies, particularly the stunning and graceful actor/singer/dancer Adrienne Storrs, who makes a spectacular entrance on a high wire from above the stage, are all poetry in motion. “

- Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

“Diana Morales (Adrienne Velasco-Storrs-one of only 4 equity actors in this production) begins a soulful, ultimately powerful and optimistic “What I Did for Love” that brought out quite a few handkerchiefs on opening night. “

-Ginger Lane, Splash Magazine

“Adrienne Storrs as “Diana Morales” is funny, real, and boy, can she sing”

-Mira Temkin, Urban Matter

“Adrienne Velasco-Storrs as Diana, a Puerto Rican born in the Bronx and consistently underestimated (her delivery of the show’s anthem “What I Did for Love” will have you sitting up in your seat)”

- Third Coast Review, Lisa Trifone
