Dami Pang Gustong Sabihin (Teatro Marco) - May 17, 8pm - Maginhawa QC
We watched this show last night not knowing what to expect, but we really wanted to see more queer theater stories. This show is a twin bill, featuring two stories separated into two acts with a 15 minute break in between.
I had an amazing time watching this show overall, but here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
• Both stories are very relatable and easy to digest. Every hugot line and pabebe moment really captured the audience’s attention, and we were reacting to all the kilig moments and sarcastic remarks throughout the show. They really know how to get a reaction from their audience.
• Acting-wise, I was really impressed by how believable the performances were. The acting still feels raw and could use more polishing, but you can already see the potential in each actor. Alex and Drei have this cute song that they sing, and they both have amazing voices. Arman and Drew showed intense chemistry and strong comedic timing with the way they delivered their lines.
Cons:
This is only their second week, and I understand that technical issues can still happen, but their microphones had issues for about 80% of the show. The speaker quality was also very muffled, which made it hard for us to understand some parts. Given that situation, I hope the actors can be more aware of projecting their voices louder so the audience can hear them clearly.
Overall, this is still an impressive production. Congrats to the whole team! If you can, catch them on their extended run until May 23.
The Addams Family Musical – May 3, 2 PM
I was not planning to watch this show, but thankfully, I did. I did my research before going to Areté and even watched the bootleg on YouTube. To be honest, I was already amazed by the plot and especially the music, but I was also worried whether they would be able to match the comedy and vocals especially for Wednesday.
This cast did not disappoint. They definitely met my expectations for the show. I was especially surprised by Wednesday, Gomez, and Fester. I absolutely loved Fester’s character, the way he was portrayed, his mannerisms, and overall stage presence. He was super funny and charismatic. Gomez was the strongest character for me and delivered the role perfectly. Wednesday also met my expectations vocally, and I can see that she has a lot of potential in her career.
The stage and production design were amazing, especially for a university-based production. My only letdowns were Morticia and Grandma. Morticia is a great singer, which redeemed the performance for me to some extent, but I was disappointed with her acting. For some reason, something wasn’t connecting, and her performance felt flat in most of her scenes.
Overall, this was a great show. I unexpectedly had a change of heart about Ateneo Blue Repertory, and I’ll definitely be expecting more beautiful productions from them in the future. Congrats as well to the ensemble.. you were amazing.
Last note: I’m not sure if this was because it was a show-buy, but the audience was way too loud. It went beyond my standard level of audience excitement for a theater show. That kind of loudness was honestly distracting and a bit annoying.
