Grammy-nominated international theater star Christine Allado, best known for originating the roles of Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds in the West End production of “Hamilton,” returns to Manila to lead Rockwell’s first-ever theatrical production as Rachel Marron in “The Bodyguard The Musical.”
Having shared the stage with Andrea Bocelli in sold-out arenas across Europe and Asia, and appeared in acclaimed productions such as The Prince of Egypt and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In The Heights, Allado now brings her world-class artistry to the Proscenium Theater.
She steps into a role once defined by Whitney Houston’s legendary performance, now reimagined with her crystalline vocals and commanding stage presence. In this electrifying adaptation, she brings fresh intensity and emotional depth to the story of fame, danger, and unexpected romance.
Set to the unforgettable soundtrack of “I Have Nothing,” “Run to You,” and “I Will Always Love You,” Allado’s performance promises to deliver a powerful tribute while making the role uniquely her own.
A celebrated Filipino talent, Allado has graced the world’s most prestigious stages. Beyond Hamilton, she has starred as Julie Jordan in Carousel, performed in We Will Rock You, and appeared alongside Lea Salonga and Bernadette Peters in Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends at the Gielgud Theatre. She has also performed at the Royal Albert Hall, on Netflix, and the BBC. This year, she is set to lead the West End premiere of Jo: Little Women The Musical.
Her return to Manila marks not only a homecoming but a milestone moment for Philippine theater, as she embodies one of the most iconic roles in musical history.
A 9 Works Theatrical staging, tickets to The Bodyguard The Musical are now available at premier.ticketworld.com.ph.
