A Filipino Canadian actress-singer is making it big on Broadway.
Andrea Macasaet plays the role of Anne Boleyn in the musical 'Six'. Boleyn is the second wife of England’s former king, Henry VIII bit.ly/3iXk0CA
Andrea Macasaet: When they offered me the contract, I thought I was going to perform in Chicago and Canada. Little did I know this show would take me to my Broadway debut in New York City.
Andrea Macasaet: I fell in love with 'Six' because of the music
Andrea Macasaet: The show is based around a competition. The wives of Henry VIII compete in a concert style and ask the audience which wife had it the worst with the king.
Andrea Macasaet on 'Six': Towards the end, there is a twist and that is what leaves the audience feeling empowered and full of joy
Andrea Macasaet says she hopes to continue to do the things she loves, like connecting with people all over the world and showing young Filipino girl this is possible
