Hi, I’m Adrienne!
I’m an actor and vocalist based in New York, NY. A native of Jonesboro, GA, a suburb outside of Atlanta. I grew up singing in church and school choirs. I realized I loved performing and so I decided to make a career out of it - in opera. I received my undergraduate degree in vocal performance at the historic Spelman College in Atlanta, GA and my masters of the same at The Chicago Conservatory of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. However, upon completing my graduate degree I changed course and started a career in musical theatre.
My life changed when I relocated to New York in 2016 for my Broadway debut starring as Nala in Disney’s The Lion King. I took a brief hiatus from The Lion King to play the role of Hattie in Roundabout Theatre’s Broadway revival of Kiss Me Kate alongside Tony nominated Kelli O’Hara and Disney’s High School Musical star Corbin Bleu.
During the course of my career, I have had the pleasure and opportunity to work with notable directors Robert Townsend, John Doyle, Kenny Leon, Anthony Hemingway, Gary Lennon, Charles Newell, John Stefaniuk, Scott Ellis & Casey Nicolaw.

For a closer look into who I am and what I’m passionate about, check out my blog and Youtube series , 32Bar Cut - a series dedicated to transparent advice and honest stories about my career in theatre so far.
You can watch me now on STARZ in the finale season of Power Book IV: Force as Shanti ‘Showstopper’ Page - a ruthless former boxer and master manipulator in the drug game. In my spare time I enjoying spending time with my husband & son and making handmade soap. For all booking inquiries, please contact Alice Stites (Brillstein Entertainment Partners).
