Katie Bradshaw takes the glass slipper as Repertory’s Cinderella, with two alternates

Ornella Brianna and Julia Santiago also share the titular role in Repertory’s “Cinderella” run.

Among them is theater actress Katie Bradshaw, to play the titular role in Repertory Philippines’ “Cinderella: The Tale of the Glass Slipper,” running from August 22 to December 13 at the REP Eastwood Theater in Quezon City.

A familiar face in the Manila theater scene and sibling of theater actress Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante, Katie first gained attention as a young performer when she alternated as Small Alison in Atlantis Theatrical’s 2016 staging of the Tony Award-winning musical “Fun Home,” alongside Lea Salonga. Since then, she has remained active in theater showcases.

Alternating with Katie in the role are rising theater talents Ornella Brianna and Julia Santiago.

A figure skater and daughter of “Miss Saigon” alumna Tricia Canilao, Ornella debuted in a lead theater role as Ariel in “The Little Mermaid,” then 9 Works Theatrical’s “A Christmas Carol.” Following her recent return, this new production will be her second REP production, coming from her role as Tweedle Dee in “Alice in Wonderland,” last year.

On the other hand, Julia Santiago first took the professional stage in Full House Theater Company’s hit jukebox musical “Ang Huling El Bimbo.” With an illustrious profile as an Ateneo Blue Repertory alum, Julia received the Loyola Schools Award for the Arts in Theatre Performance following her performances in “First Date,” “The Theory of Relativity,” and “CARRIE: The Musical.”

The production, part of the Repertory’s 89th Season, will be directed by Joy Virata and Cara Barredo, with book, music, and lyrics by Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman.

They will lead a newly announced ensemble featuring Khalil Tambio and Radson Flores as Prince Charming, with Lance Soliman as cover.

Cara Barredo and Mayen Cadd will portray the Fairy Godmother, while Pinky Marquez and Ring Antonio take on the Stepmother. The Stepsisters will be played by Arielle Magno, Barbara Jance, Basti Katigbak, and Paul Atienza, with Jay Barrameda serving as cover.

The cast also includes Hans Eckstein, Steven Hotchkiss, Hades Kitane, Stephen Viñas, Jay Pangilinan, Deo Dela Cruz, and Monica Tulio.

Tickets are priced at ₱1,500 for Orchestra Center and ₱1,000 for Orchestra Side, available through TicketWorld and the REP Box Office at Eastwood Mall.
