“IMELDA” by Donita Cruz has officially come to a close at KXT on Broadway 👠📺🎤💌🪭

Thank you to everyone who watched and supported this production, it meant the world to us. Having the opportunity to share this Filipino-Australian story is something we will cherish deeply.

Our greatest thanks to KXT on Broadway, Sydney, Suzanne, John and Andrew for having us. It truly takes a village/baranggay to make a show so we also would love to extend our thanks to everyone who had been involved, whether big or small.

I’m sure we’ll kitakits again in the next one! Because like a phoenix… 🩵
