Cast Set for PROUD MARYS Concert at Prospect's Ignite Fest

Prospect Musicals has  announced the full cast and creative team for Proud Marys – In Concert, the culmination of Prospect's 2026 IGNITE Concert Festival at Baruch Performing Arts Center (55 Lexington Avenue, NYC). Proud Marys is presented in partnership with National Asian Artists Project (NAAP Co-Founders: Steven Eng, Nina Zoie Lam, and Tony Award recipient Baayork Lee) as part of NAAP's Discover Series, and in association with community partner Broadway Barkada.

Performances are Sunday, March 29th at 3:00pm and Monday, March 30th at 7:00pm. In this genre-bending new pop musical, three daughters shake up the strict traditions of their Filipino-American family when they all get knocked up out of wedlock at the same time. With humor and heart, Proud Marys tackles nuanced conversations about women's physical and mental health through the lens of a devoutly Catholic Fil-Am family... breaking open the myth of the model minority, one pop song at a time.

The cast of Proud Marys includes Joshua Carandang (Larry the Musical: An American Journey), Liz Casasola (Dogeaters), Emy Coligado (original and new “Malcolm in the Middle”), Andrew Cristi (A Christmas Story on Broadway), Marc dela Cruz (Hamilton on Broadway), Diane Phelan (Into The Wood on Broadway), Shea Renne (Here Lies Love and Hadestown on Broadway), Kay Sibal (SIX on Broadway and NBC's “The Voice”), Reuben Uy (The Great Leap at Cleveland Play House), and Lito Villareal (Los Angeles premiere of Passion).

Book, story and lyrics by Jennifer Paz, music and lyrics by Anthony Fedorov, direction and dramaturgy by Fran de Leon. Music direction is by Alexander Tom, with Assistant Music Director Mikayla Coxe. The band includes Daniel Basilio-Fernández (Bass), Paige Andrews (Drums), and Sungwon Kim (Guitar). Stage Managers are Chris M. Russo and Christine Viega.
