Like most Tracy Turnbalds before her, Madel will be making her professional debut in Hairspray. She is a junior at Ateneo de Manila majoring in AB Political Science. ( I can hear Ateneans cheering "Go Ateneo!" ) Having performed in school productions including High School Musical. Madel is thrilled to take on her first major role. She says, "Girls like me don't get opportunities like this! Honestly, I feel like I'm the modern-day Filipina version of Tracy. A big girl with big dreams It's a little scary to take on a role this big, but I'm really looking forward to taking on the challenge of playing a character with this much spirit and energy."
