In the up-and-coming musical production of Bye Bye Birdie this spring, Trinity Riva stars as Rose Alvarez. Rose is Albert Peterson’s receptionist and love interest in the musical.
We asked her a few questions about her musical journey and what she’s looking forward to most:
Blueprint: What is your role in the musical?
Trinity: Rose Alvarez
Blueprint: Why did you choose to participate?
Trinity: I’ve done theatre my whole life and after going three shows in the last year, I couldn’t wait for one last one with people I love.
Blueprint: What is your favorite thing about being in the musical?
Trinity: My favorite thing is the memories we make during rehearsals and the feeling of adrenaline we get that is rewarded with the applause.
Blueprint: Have you participated in previous musicals before?
Trinity: I have! Ar the school I’ve done Annie, High School Musical Jr, Beauty and the Beast, and Grease. I’ve also done sparkle shows, les miserable, Oliver! And Matilda at the Mishler.
Blueprint: What can the audience expect from this performance of Bye Bye Birdie?
Trinity: The audience can expect to laugh a lot and see some fun dancing.
Blueprint: Did you know about Bye Bye Birdie before the musical was decided upon?
Trinity: Honestly, not really.
Blueprint: Who do you think the audience’s favorite character will be and why?
Trinity: I think that the audience will really enjoy Miranda Tornatore’s character Mae Peterson because she’s really hilarious and its great to see what someone newer to theatre can do with a character.
Blueprint: Give us your best pitch on why people should come see the musical.
Trinity: Its a great laugh with some songs that will make you dance in your seat. It’s also a great opportunity to support your peers.
Congratulations Trinity! We can’t wait to see what you bring to the production!
