The image shows a man in a red costume performing a Chinese opera on stage, with a screen in the background. He is wearing a traditional costume with intricate details and vibrant colors, and his face is painted with a unique expression. His arms are outstretched and his head is tilted slightly to the side, as if he is in the middle of a performance. His eyes are closed and his mouth is slightly open, giving him a peaceful and serene look.

Isa Briones shines as Connie Francis in Just In Time before May 29 finale

Isa Briones is currently starring as Connie Francis in the Broadway musical Just In Time. The show marks another high point in her growing career, which includes roles in theatre, television, and a deep connection to her Filipino roots. Her final performance is set for May 29. Briones made her Broadway debut in Hadestown before touring with Hamilton. Her latest role in Just In Time follows a family tradition—her father, Jon Jon Briones, also performed on Broadway in Miss Saigon.

On television, she plays Dr. Trinity Santos in The Pitt, a character that spotlights Filipino contributions to America’s healthcare system. Briones has spoken openly about her pride in representing her heritage. She sees the rise of Filipino stories in entertainment as a meaningful shift for the industry. With Just In Time closing later this month, Briones continues to build a career that bridges stage and screen. Her work reflects both artistic skill and a commitment to bringing Filipino narratives to wider audiences. The final performance on May 29 will wrap up this chapter of her Broadway journey.
