Networks Blog Stories Nr. 22: Isabel Verdejo

We're delighted to say that this week's contribution comes from Isabel Verdejo. Isabel last appeared in a show in 2003, but I think she comes and sees every single show! She's a big fan of the theatre and we love to see her! In the photo above Isabel is dancing in the opening song of Aladdin 2003. She played the Slave of the Ring.
