From the successful TV series to a smashing full length feature film hit in 2015, A-list star Shaun The Sheep is back on the big screen in “Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon” as he boldly goes where no sheep has gone before. Taking the audience for a hilarious intergalactic adventure, Farmageddon breaks Shaun’s blissful and mischievous daily existence on the arrival of an crazy and sparkly purple-blue alien named Lu-La.

Attend the Jellicle Ball before tickets run out! #CatsManila

I have to confess that I am not well-versed in Cats speak. I have read about it but the concept never really dawned on me so upon seeing it on stage by a wonderful cast that was more than committed to their roles, I was fully in awe! One could say that the whole production comprises of one production number after another. The story may be summarized in a paragraph but the whole show writes itself page after page. We’re lucky to be provided with the Broadway stage and the updated costumes. Even from afar, you would see details and as the cats go through the aisles, you may catch glimpses of how exquisite each feline is designed. I was lucky to see the make up of one of them up close when the actor stared straight into my eye for about five seconds and I was entranced! Of course, we have to talk about Joanna Ampil! It’s not hard to become a fan of Joanna. I love how she gets roles, local or international, and she gives her 100% each time she performs! As Grizabella, you see that sh...

Coming from its critically-acclaimed re-staging of Spring Awakening and its sold out run of The Theory of Relativity, Ateneo Blue Repertory maintains its momentum by taking on another set of fresh talent for its 28th Season Newbie Production, Bring It On: The Musical. Loosely based on the cult-classic film by Jessica Bendinger, this production is an original take by its creators on the spirit, grit, and hard work put into cheerleading. With an original story by Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), music by Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning composer, Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), lyrics by Broadway lyricist, Amanda Green (High Fidelity), and music and lyrics by the Tony Award-winning creator of Hamilton and In The Heights, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Bring It On: The Musical is a story that reveals the heat and intensity behind competition, yet emphasizes the invaluable bonds and camaraderie created through sportsmanship. This production will be helmed by co-directors Franco Ramos (Madagascar, Miong, All...
