From Cebu Rotunda to Broadway: Joan Almedilla’s Career Profile

Positively Filipino traces Joan Almedilla’s path from childhood singing contests in Cebu to Broadway’s Miss Saigon, the first AAPI Fantine, Aurora Aquino in Here Lies Love, Maria Callas in Master Class, and a scene-stealing Bloody Mary at The Muny. She describes Bloody Mary as “a businesswoman fighting for her daughter and for survival,” and Aurora as quiet strength. The piece also notes her upcoming East West Players Crazy Talented Asians concert.
