I just read her interview with BWW (https://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=7613)

First off, I knew right off the bat, just by seeing her picture, that she was Filipino, but she seemed familiar. And so I googled her, and it turns out that I had looked her up before! That's because her sister Natalie was Liat in the TV version of "South Pacific!"

I think that it's amazing how she grew up in such a musical family. I mean, ALL SIX children, PLUS the 2 parents? I would love to have a family like that! (not that i don't like my own. but, still. :) )

has anybody seen her perform yet? or has heard her CD? I'd like to know more about this girl.

I believe Natalie was also Eponine in one of the touring productions of Les Miserables.

Natalie was Eponine in the Aussie revival tour. She performed in Sydney and Melbourne.

So this is a really old thread, but I just read this and thought it was crazy!!!

"[Mendoza] Hit the headlines in January 1999, when she suffered a stroke from massive blood loss, after her estranged husband, Marlon Brand stabbed her in the heart, after which he committed suicide."

WHA???

I want to know, has there been any news on if Rebecca will go to London for the "Lord of the Rings" production there?

I saw her in Lord of the Rings and man did she ever steal the show, along with Michael Therriault. She belted the hell out of her songs, and for once I didn't care that they totally did nothing to move the plot forward because I had goosebumps all over. I would LOVE to see her take on a major belting role.

That is terrible, what happened to Rebecca. I am glad that she recovered, and I think it is amazing that she was able to return to the stage.

The Mendoza's are Australian. Their Father has a filipino background but mother is aussie.

Rebecca was stabbed by her husband (who then committed suicide)durring the melbourne season of Showboat. that is true. it was all over the tabloids and trashy mags.

Natalie played eponine in the revival of les mis opposite her then boyfriend David Campbell, she was also in the reccent Melbourne Theatre Company Production of ....Spelling bee. She can also be seen in moulin rouge as one of those featured can can dancers in Material girl

Her Brother Aaron is also a phenominal performer studied at Victorian College of The Arts and has performed internationally and in Oz in Mamma Mia, Kiss Me Kate, Leader Of The Pack, Oh What a night (Alongside Natalie)

Rebecca's daughter phoenix is on her way to being a star. I saw her doing her first tap solo at a local dance eisteddfod a couple of years ago.

Very talented family
