“….there are some true standouts, first and foremost Mariesa Genzale, who plays Adrian. Mariesa is hands down the best part of this show, and her portrayal of Adrian is spot on. From the shy and introverted girl who has garnered the unrequited attention of Rocky Balboa, to the more confident girlfriend who stands up to brother Paulie when he shows up drunk at Rocky’s apartment one night, it’s a performance that doesn’t miss a mark. The transformation is a good one to watch unfold on stage, and the only thing better than her acting is her vocal ability. Mariesa has a beautiful voice, and to hear it in “Raining” is to hear a sweet and shy girl sing while gazing out her window toward the man who would give her his heart, while “I’m Done” presents a character who has transformed and matured, with a new confidence and a lifetime of frustration and resentment that she isn’t afraid to let out.”
