Actor
Brady Peeti, a pioneering, award-winning actress.
She has shattered stereotypes as the first trans actress to take a leading role in the hit musical; Jekyll & Hyde.
Graduating from the National Academy of Singing and Dramatic
Art, Brady's remarkable talent shines on both stage and screen. Her theatre
credits include unforgettable performances in Fever: Return of the Ula, Black
Ties, Astroman, The Wizard of Otāhuhu, and Larger Than Life. Notably, she wowed
audiences as Lucy Harris in the musical Jekyll & Hyde, and most recently the wonderful show Kōpū at
Te Pou, which was a celebration of wāhinetanga, a hugely successful show, Kōpū pays tribute to the wāhine whose voices should matter the most on the marae;
our nannies, mothers, and aunties.
Brady's versatility is evident in her portrayal of the
man-eating plant Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors at Christchurch's Court
Theatre, a role usually assigned to a puppeteer.
Beyond the stage, Brady has left her mark on television with appearances in the Māori bilingual web series Ahikāroa and her incredible role in Mika's, GURL and most notably the emotional and necessary conversations of TransGenerations.
