Anna Maria Perez de Tagle Wins Best Actress for "Godspell"
Filipino-American Anna Maria Perez de Tagle was honored as Best Featured Actress In A Musical in the 10th Annual BroadwayWorld.com Theater Awards Wednesday for her acclaimed performance in the ongoing revival of the musical “Godspell”.
The 21-year-old former Disney star was nominated in her category along with 28 others in the awards that BroadwayWorld.com described as “by far the largest and most popular online Broadway polling event of its kind, open to all and with fully visible and audited results.”
Anna Maria, the granddaughter of legendary Filipina singer Sylvia La Torre, won through an online poll.
“Godspell”, based on a series of parables about the passion of Jesus Christ from the Gospel, is a musical by Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak that was first staged off-Broadway in 1971. The popularity of the play culminated in a film version starring Victor Garber in 1973.
One highlight of the musical is the cast performance of the popular song “Day By Day”, featuring Anna Maria singing lead.
The current production of “Godspell”, which also stars “High School Musical” cast member Corbin Bleu, also won Best Revival of a Musical in the said awards.
