we're getting there...

my kaibigans, the female above is new person on Broadway. Her name is Ali Ewoldt, she is portraying "Cosette" in the "revival" of Les Miserables on Broadways, and she is pinay. half-pinay, but at least recognizes her mom's ethnicity.

here's part of her interview from broadwayworld.com:
A Whole New World: Post-college, Ewoldt was cast as the Jasmine body double/understudy in Aladdin at Disneyland. "One of our Jasmines was Deedee Magno Hall," she recalls. "She did Miss Saigon [on Broadway], but I knew her from The Mickey Mouse Club. I grew up in a very white-bread town; my mom's Filipino, and there were a handful here and there, but not so much in the performing genre. Basically it was Deedee and Lea Salonga, who, of course, is the icon of all Filipino icons," she says. "So in my first real job out of college, to be working with someone I had been inspired by growing up was completely ridiculous! And she was the nicest person in the world."
