Myra Molloy Parlays Historic Broadway Success into a Leading Film Role
By James Moreau | 18 Jun, 2026

The Thai actress transitions from her milestone performance in Hadestown to anchor the emotional narrative of the anticipated feature Girls Like Girls.

Myra Molloy is set to star in the upcoming Focus Features film Girls Like Girls, scheduled for theatrical release on June 19th.  The Bangkok native anchors the lead in the sun-drenched summer story, exploring themes of identity and first love.

On screen, Molloy previously starred in the 2021 Netflix romantic comedy He’s All That and appeared on the Freeform series The Bold Type in 2020.

More recently, Molloy reached a major milestone in May 2025, making history as the first Thai actress to ever perform in a leading role on Broadway.  She starred as Eurydice in the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown, a role that effectively connects the dots between her nuanced acting and her formidable singing abilities.

Molloy also lent her artistry to Disney in 2016 as the singing voice of Moana in the Thai-language version of the titular animated feature and its 2024 sequel.  

These high-profile musical roles followed her historic start in 2011, when she became the inaugural winner of Thailand’s Got Talent at just 13 years old.  This early victory served as a prelude to her education as a classically trained musician.  Molloy graduated summa cum laude from Boston’s Berklee College of Music in 2019, where she majored in singing and songwriting.

The 28-year-old actress continues to expand her footprint as a direct result of her multifaceted artistry.  As Molloy moves into this new chapter of her career as a leading lady, fresh opportunities continue to arise, including an upcoming role in the second season of the Netflix series Untamed.
