Vina Morales flew to New York and has already settled in her temporary home in the city, days before her opening act at the Broadway musical “Here Lies Love” on Sept. 22.
The actress-singer, who will take on the role of Aurora Aquino—the mother of the late senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.—in the musical, gave a peek at her home through her Instagram page on Tuesday, Sept. 19.
“Welcome to my place! My humble abode in New York for a month,” she said. “Thank you to my [‘Here Lies Love’] family for the warm welcome. Love all the presents. Can’t wait to meet you all!”
The production of the musical also expressed its excitement over working with Morales, via Instagram Stories.
Morales received an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities, fans and Filipinos in New York who cheered for her via the comments section.
Morales will portray the role of Aurora Aquino on a limited run—from Sept. 22 to Oct. 22. Prior to her, Lea Salonga took on the role for over a month. /ra
