“She’s funny. A sense of humor is the most attractive quality in anyone, including a co-star.”

Betsy said,

“Being able to “fall in love” with a love interest and acting partner is the onstage ability to be very open in the moment and honest. Drew is always that. He’s so damn charming in this role. You kinda can’t help but adore him. I’m such a sucker for humor and since he’s funny on stage and off, he makes the onstage part very easy.”
