Her early career began in the Philippines, where she participated in Playshop school theatre workshops and performed in productions such as “Hairspray” (2008), “The Phantom of the Opera: Revue” (2009), and “Joseph the Dreamer” (2009). At the age of 18, Allado moved to Hong Kong, where she continued her performing career, taking on leading roles at Hong Kong Disneyland in productions like “The Golden Mickeys” (2010) and “Disney’s High School Musical” (2009). She later relocated to London, United Kingdom, to pursue training in musical theatre at the Royal Academy of Music, further developing her vocal and acting skills.

Allado’s career progressed in London with her West End debut in Tim Rice’s “From Here To Eternity” at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 2013, where she played Minerva and understudied the lead role of Lorene. In 2014, she appeared in “Here Lies Love,” a production by Fat Boy Slim and David Byrne that transferred from New York to the National Theatre in London, and performed as Ursula in “Sweet Charity” at the Royal Exchange Theatre.

That same year, she took on the role of Vanessa in the Olivier-winning production of “In the Heights” at the King’s Cross Theatre, and performed with Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli at the Mall of Asia Arena in the Philippines.
