Obsession collection. Here are my theater-related memorabilia and stuff (well, more or less. Around ten from these will be for our blog’s giveaway, and there are probably other stuff I have that aren’t here). So, I have posters, programmes, playbills, flyers, memoirs and solo albums of Broadway stars, movie musicals, and recordings. Not in photo but I have shirts and button pins, too. God, I love all my babies.
Lin-Manuel Miranda onstage with the In The Heights Manila cast during the curtain call. He gave a sweet little speech & the crowd just went wild. Amazing.
Got my tix for In The Heights Manila’s rerun’s opening night already. I will seriously kill people if I don’t get to meet or even just feel the presence of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s talented soul on there.
I turned a horrific looking freebie bag from The Generics pharmacy into a West Side Story backpack because I can.
Random illustration: Filipin-ized In The Heights ♥ I’ve always felt like there’s something very Filipino about In The Heights. Ahhh, so excited for the In The Heights Manila rerun!! Lin-Manuel is watching, and I really really really hope to see him. Even a tiny glimpse of his face would make me happy, for realsies.
One of the many amazing things about musical theater is its ability to address modern day issues through music and a mixture of humor and drama, and that’s exactly what Ateneo Blue Repertory’s Bare: A Pop Opera has in store for its audiences, plus a whole lot more.
Bare is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by Jon Hartmere, Jr. and Damon Intrabartolo. The story focuses on two gay high school students and their struggles at their private, Catholic boarding school. Jason, the senior class heartthrob hides his romantic relationship with his roommate Peter in fear that his father might disown him and that it might ruin his reputation. Jason, on the other hand wants their relationship to be more open.
I’ve heard a lot of people say how Bare is just like Spring Awakening, so I thought it was going to be another story about teenagers exploring their sexuality and feeding their curiosity about adult things, but it wasn’t. It’s far different from Spring Awakening. Bare is not about exploring ones sexuality or finding out who they are, it’s about two people who are madly in love but are struggling to keep their relationship in a society where the kind of relationship they have is not normal and not accepted.
