One-time Hong Kong Disney performer Christine Allado is headed for the big time. In September this year, the young, classically trained Allado will start rehearsing for her plum role in the musical “Hamilton”, which will open in London’s West End in December.Allado, who is just in her mid-20s, stars with the more seasoned Rachelle Ann Go in the play, which just ended a successful run on Broadway.
Ahead of the intense training, Allado has been kept busy by a number of singing engagements in Manila, including her first solo concert at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig on Mar. 4.
Singing practically throughout the two-hour show, except when her lawyer-father Jojo had to step in so she could change into another gown, Allado received several standing ovations for her outstanding performance.
