“Comic relief and leading lady material”
— BROADWAYWORLD
“Barrios-Torres is a powerhouse… effortless”
— ONSTAGE PITTSBURGH
Anette Barrios-Torres is a bilingual Cuban-American artist and performer from Miami, FL. As a kid, Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn were her heroes. Fascinated with old films, she spent hours acting out classic movie scenes in her room, imagining how she might look in black and white.
Her passion for the stage and screen led her to New World School of the Arts, then to Oklahoma City University, where she earned her BM in Music Theater. In addition, she studied Spanish, and relishes any opportunity to combine her areas of study. She discovered her love for teaching and directing while working at Miami Children’s Theater and now coaches acting and voice privately.
She is best known for leading the Broadway national tour of the Lincoln Center Theater Production of My Fair Lady, making her mark as the first Latina to play Eliza Doolittle. She has been seen on the Civic Center Music Hall stage as Maria in The Sound of Music, Carrie in Carousel, and singing alongside Kelli O’Hara with the OKC Philharmonic. Other regional credits include Titanic at North Shore, Grease at Lyric Theatre OK and Shout! The Mod Musical with Roxy Theatre Group.
Along with being a performer, Anette is a web designer and audition coach. In her spare time, she loves to roller skate, practice yoga and watch Carol Burnett reruns with her cat, Joni (Mitchell.)
THE SPOKESMAN REVIEW
“The audience embraced [her] with applause from the moment she stepped onstage, before she had uttered a single note. Torres’ Cockney-accented whine is wondrously contrasted when she finally lets loose with her glorious soprano and rewards the audience’s adoration with her powerful belt.
Torres sings showstoppers such as “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?” and “I Could Have Danced All Night” with seeming effortless pleasure. Her scrappy delivery of the more angry numbers, “Show Me” and “Without You” are high points, with goosebump-raising trills and a flair for acting that takes the audience along with her on her rollercoaster of emotions.”
