Show Synopsis:
Identical twins were separated with their identical twin servants at birth, and when the master and servant from Syracuse journey to Ephesus, a comedy of errors ensues. Luciana begins to fall in love with her brother-in-law's twin brother, and Antipholous and Dromio of Ephesus get locked out of their own house because their twins are already inside. By the end, only their father's confession about separating them can save them from death as punishment for criminal acts of tricking officials. 	

Character:
Adriana, the under-satisfied wife of Antipholous of Syracuse who wants to have a new go at her marriage; tries to stay optimistic despite her husband's activities with courtesans.

Fun Facts:
1) The Boys From Syracuse is the musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, which, as a whole, focuses a lot less on the female characters and their desires.
2) The notable British actress Muriel Angelus made her Broadway debut as Adriana in 1938. 
3) This song is set to a waltz, but the meaning behind its lyrics is far from romantic.
