Keala Settle to Perform a One-Night-Only Concert in Manila This July
On July 11 at 7:30 PM, Broadway and Hollywood star Keala Settle is set to perform a one-night-only concert at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.
Most celebrated for her performance as Lettie Lutz—the bearded lady—in The Greatest Showman, Settle also originated the role of Becky in Waitress and appears in both parts of the upcoming Wicked film adaptation as Miss Coddle, a character created specifically for the screen.
Titled This Is Me: An Evening with Keala Settle, the concert offers an intimate look into her own story—one shaped by resilience, transformation, and the journey to becoming. It’s both a personal manifesto and an invitation to Filipino audiences to embrace identity, defy limitations, and find strength in vulnerability.
Backed by an orchestra and joined by backup vocalists Jillian Ita-as and Jep Go, the evening also features a special appearance by Broadway actor Arielle Jacobs, who is set to play Cinderella in Theatre Group Asia’s upcoming staging of Into the Woods. The repertoire includes Broadway numbers, original compositions, and reimagined pop anthems.
The show is directed by Mikko Angeles, with musical direction by Farley Asuncion, choreography by JM Cabling, set design by Ohm David, lighting design by Meliton Roxas, and visual projections by Joyce Garcia.
The concert also marks the third anniversary of the Samsung Performing Arts Theater and is part of the Bespoke Experiences curated by Ayala Land Estates.
Tickets will be available via TicketWorld soon.
