BITUING WALANG NINGNING: THE MUSICAL continues to shine on its second run

POTATO ON THE GO NEWS FEED (Theater):

With notable upgrades on set, music, script, and cast, the return of Resorts World Manila’s Bituing Walang Ningning: The Musical onstage Newport Performing Arts Theater starting October 8, 2015 is definitely worth watching over and over again.  Back due to popular demand since it first opened in June, the musical awed audience with more highlights that proved to be more entertaining than its initial production.

Audiences welcomed the one-of-a-kind musical with great fervor and applause after witnessing the spectacular performance of new cast member Antoinette Taus who plays pop star diva Lavinia Arguelles in lieu of original cast member Cris Villonco who will be back in the show later in the year.

Experience the Magic of Trumpets' The Bluebird of Happiness!

POTATO ON THE GO REVIEW (Theater):

I was one of the lucky people to learn about the evolution of Trumpets' The Bluebird of Happiness, from the concept stage, to its press preview, to its gala night and actual run.  At first, I was thinking how Trumpets can transform this material into something exciting for the Filipino audience.  How can the journey of two kids be able to bring life to the musical?

The Bluebird of Happiness tells the story of two poor children, Mytyl and Tyltyl who go on a magical adventure in mysterious lands, meeting fantastical characters as they try to find the bluebird of happiness that will make their life happier. It has a 50-strong cast of seasoned actors including, Mayen Bustamante-Cadd, Jennifer Villegas-dela Cruz, Lynn Sherman, Robie Zialcita, Carla Guevarra-Laforteza, Joy Virata, Steve Cadd, Joel Trinidad, Reymund Concepcion with the four kids alternating as the central characters, Guido Gatmaytan, Anton Posadas, Chimmi Kohchet Chua and Alessa Zialcita
