GMA Network congratulates home-grown singer and actress Aicelle Santos for bagging the role of “Gigi Van Tranh” in Miss Saigon’s UK Tour. After the success of “Himala: Isang Musikal” where she played the lead role, the Kapuso star is now ready to take the international stage with Cameron Mackintosh’s critically-acclaimed musical.
The “Rock and Soul Diva” first captured the hearts of theater enthusiasts with her role as “Aileen” in the local production “Rak of Aegis” where she bagged the award for Best Actress in a Musical Production in the Aliw Awards 2014.
This was followed by more stints in theater, making her a favorite in the local scene. Last year, Aicelle was once again recognized by Aliw Awards as Best Actress in a Featured Role for her portrayal of Perla in “Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag.” For the same performance, she is currently nominated at the Gawad Philstage Award as Best Female Featured Actress in a Musical.
She will continue being visible on TV as her successful “Awit na Aicelle” concert will be televised on GMA, and the music video for the single “Tuloy Tuloy Lang” under her recent album “Liwanag” will also be released in the coming months.
