HandoutMANILA -- Tony Award nominee Conrad Ricamora is playing the role of Zach in the upcoming Philippine production of the musical &quot;A Chorus Line,&quot; Theater Group Asia announced on Thursday, October 15.</div>A Chorus Line tells the story of a group of dancers &quot;putting everything on the line as they face a life-changing Broadway audition.&quot;&quot;I&#x27;ve always loved &#x27;A Chorus Line&#x27; because it celebrates the raw, vulnerable truth of being a performer. To step into Zach&#x27;s shoes, especially in its golden year, feels ike a full-circle moment. I&#x27;m excited to explore how this show -- written nearly 50 years ago-- still speaks directly to the artists today: the hunger, the heartbreak, the need to be seen. And as someone who started in musical theater before moving into television and film, it&#x27;s thrilling to return to that sense of community and truth that only the stage can offer,&quot; Ricamora said.&quot;A Chorus Line&quot; marks Ricamora&#x27;s Philippine stage debut, following his Broadway performance as Abraham Lincon in &quot;Oh, Mary!&quot; that earned him his first Tony nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play.&quot;Performing in the Philippines for the first time is incredibly meaningful because it&#x27;s my father&#x27;s homeland. To bring my work here feels like a kind of homecoming -- a chance to connect with a part of my heritage that I&#x27;ve always carried in my heart,&quot; Ricamora said.Ricamora also breathed life into unforgettable roles such as Benigno &#x27;Ninoy&#x27; Aquino in &quot;Here Lies Love,&quot; Seymour in &quot;Little Shop of Horrors,&quot; and Lun Tha in &quot;The King and I.&quot;On screen, he has appeared in &quot;How to Get Away with Murder&quot; and the Hulu hit &quot;Fire Island,&quot; captivating audiences around the world.&quot;A Chorus Line&quot; opens this March 2026 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Makati City.
