New York, February 17, 2013 -- Via email, Nikki Snelson, the Broadway actress, dancer, and choreographer arguably best known for her role as fitness queen Brooke Wyndham in the screen-to-stage adaptation of "Legally Blonde," has confirmed with BroadwayWorld that she will indeed travel to Manila, Philippines to hold a weekend of jazz class, singing/acting master class from Saturday, March 9 to Sunday, March 10.

"Higher performance standards mean better actors, better performances," Cruz added.

Besides "Legally Blonde," Snelson has also performed on Broadway in "Annie Get Your Gun," starring Bernadette Peters, and "Sweet Charity," starring Christina Applegate. She also played "Cassie" in the National Tour of "A Chorus Line"; performed in the Broadway National Tours of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," "Showboat," and "Hello, Dolly!"; and played "Susan" in Jonathan Larson's "Tick, Tick...Boom!" She also originated the role of "The Mad Hatter" in Frank Wildhorn's "Wonderland."

Recently, Snelson played "Velma Kelly" in "Chicago" at Maine State Theater and "Sally Bowles" in "Cabaret" at The Napa Valley Opera House.
