Some people have all the luck (and talent) in the world.
Filipino actress Rachelle Ann Go, aka the newly minted Eliza Schuyler in the London West End production of Broadway hit Hamilton, shared yesterday that she met Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone.
“I adore her so much!!! Thank you for coming to see @hamiltonwestend #EmmaStone,” Go wrote as her caption to a photo with Stone.
Christine Allado, another Filipino in the cast, also shared a photo with the actress.
“Looooved meeting the beautiful and incredibly sweet @emmastone at @hamiltonwestend tonight #LaLaLand #fangirling,” she wrote.
In the play, Allado plays Peggy Schuyler, sister to Go’s character Eliza. In January, it was announced that the two actresses would be part of the Hamilton cast for the West End production.
The musical retells the story of United States founding father Alexander Hamilton. Apart from winning numerous awards, including multiple Tonys and a Grammy, the production has been praised for promoting diversity and having a cast of mostly non-white actors.
Go started out as a pop singer in the Philippines. She got her international break when she was selected to play the character Gigi in the 2014 West End revival of Miss Saigon. She also played Fantine in the 30th-anniversary staging of Les Miserables and in its Asia tour.
