🎙️ Season 3, Episode 5 - Jhett Tolentino: From Iloilo to Broadway and Beyond

In this episode of The Loida Lewis Podcast, we sit down with Jhett Tolentino - a three-time Tony Award-winning Broadway producer, Grammy winner, and proud Filipino creative force.

Jhett opens up about his journey from Iloilo to New York, breaking into the high-stakes world of Broadway and earning three Tonys and a Grammy along the way. He shares how he transitioned into film, producing the acclaimed Lingua Franca and directing his debut feature Asian Persuasion starring KC Concepcion. Now, he's setting his sights on launching his own AAPI production company to amplify Asian-American voices on stage and screen.

In a candid moment, Jhett also discusses why he wasn’t involved in the Broadway run of Here Lies Love, and what that reveals about representation, gatekeeping, and moving the Filipino narrative forward.
