hello! sa mga naka-try na mag-travel from Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez to Circuit Makati para manood ng show, keri ba siya? or malilate ako ng bongga? 😆

i'll be watching TP's Sayaw ng mga Ilaw on Sept 19 at 3pm sa TIG and then balak ko sana bumili ng ticket for Scene Change's staged reading of Villa sa Circuit at 7:30pm.

never did something like this before (laging same venue lang if nagtu-2 shows in one day ako 😅) kaya medyo nag-aalangan ako haha

Planning to become a showbuyer soon! 😊

Aside from discounts and promos, what are some things you’d want to know or see from a showbuyer?

Would love to hear what’s actually helpful to you when buying or watching a show. Thanks!

is gregoria lakambini tickets for november available??

Since GMG’s 2026 season has been revealed na, although it’s a bit too early pa, what do you think will be or should be part of GMG’s 2027 season? I’m focusing on GMG cause they’re usually the one that sends international tours to our shore.

To give a bit of an idea, here are some of the shows currently touring (or has news of touring) in Asia and Australia:
- The Phantom of the Opera: scheduled to run in Shanghai (with Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom!!!)
- Cats: scheduled to stop in Hong Kong and Singapore
- Matilda the Musical: currently touring China
- Chicago: currently touring Japan and then the UAE
- Anastasia: currently in Australia; no news of an Asia transfer
- The Lion King: also in Australia with no news of an Asia transfer
- Heathers the Musical: same case as Anastasia and The Lion King
- Moulin Rouge! The Musical: coming to Singapore and Bangkok
- MJ the Musical: launching an Asia tour

Also focused more on musicals because these are more likely to tour compared with straight plays.

Alternatively, if GMG were to do a “TGA style” production like when they did “Come From Away”, what show would you want that to be? Although this seems less likely.

Me personally, I would love to see POTO with Ramin Karimloo as Phantom. I’ve been a fan of him for a long time, specially his Phantom so it’d be a dream to see that. And then imagine if we also get Joanna Ampil as Carlotta.
Realistically though, I hope we get Cats and Moulin Rouge.

Gusto ko sana yung Annie Batumbakal, pero ayaw ilabas ng producers cast schedule kasi mas gusto ko yung ibang casts 😆 Looking for other shows nalang na pwede panoorin.

Highly highly recommend catching Mga Binago ng Araw before they close this weekend. Deserve nila for more people to catch the show but most importantly, deserve NIYO rin mapanood yung kwentong sinulat ni Guelan Varela-Luarca (fresh from his wins at Cinemalaya 2026!!!)

It’ll make you laugh, possibly cry, and of course, remember things and people you may have forgotten about — a good reminder that the people who we cross paths and share memories with are a part of who we are and our story.

Kung binago ka na rin ng araw (which I like to think everyone has naman at a certain point), then this show is for you!

hi! planning to watch the notebook musical and Loge lang po afford ko. Ano po magandang seat sa Loge Right since yun na lang available. Thank you! :)

Whats the gist about 9works?
Especially since*** they will produce the Frozen Broadway musical.***

Hi! Does anyone know a good karaoke place in Metro Manila that has a great selection of songs from musicals/Disney?

Most karaoke places we’ve tried have very few musical/Disney songs, and when they do have some, they’re usually the ugly karaoke versions and wrong lyrics 😭

My friends and I usually just use YouTube at home (Curtain Up and Clark on Stage HAHA), but we’re starting to annoy our neighbors so we also want to go out, get a private room, and have food and drinks served while we sing scream.

Preferably QC (maybe Timog/Tomas Morato) but also open to anywhere around Makati, BGC, Ortigas as long as the song selection is good! 🎭🎤

Casting directors hear me out please 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
So seated for April!🪑

Disclaimer agad, I do NOT intend anything negative. I am genuinely curious po. Can someone please educate me?

I really really loved People Places and Things that's why I'm curious kung bakit hindi nalang sya ginawang full-on play, specially since existing material naman na sya. I get if it's like 'testing the waters' muna for new materials eh which is yun din yung lumabas na reason nung nag google ako (yes po nag-google muna ako 😭)

tfm wasn't lying with this review—Mga Binago ng Araw is easily one of the most honest and moving local plays this year.

i have a lot of friends in this production, and seeing the sheer amount of heart, honesty, and detail they poured into this show makes me so proud. they truly deserve a sold-out run. i really hope more people catch wind of it before it closes

Just watched People, Places, and Things yesterday at Proscenium, Rockwell. Si Bella and Gabby ang leads.

I was actually hoping to watch Bella, but Gabby was the one we ended up seeing. And honestly, it felt like a blessing in disguise because sobrang galing ni Gabby! She was so effective in inhabiting her role—you could feel the character breathe through her performance. There was such conviction in the way she delivered her lines and carried each moment.

My friend, on the other hand, watched Bella. Hmm… did anyone watch her also last night? What do you guys think about her acting?

In any case, I really enjoyed the production’s—especially the director’s—take on the show. I had my reservations about it being a staged reading, but in this case, it felt like so much more than that. The lighting, the use of chairs, the sound design, and the overall staging were terrific. Everything felt intentional, and the simplicity of the staging somehow made the performances stand out even more.

A lovely reminder that theatre doesn’t always need elaborate sets to transport you somewhere. Sometimes, all it needs is a good actor, a well-timed light, a chair, a sound—and a story worth telling.

Kung dati may ranking pa ako na “ah top ko talaga Rak of Aegis, tapos Mula sa Buwan, then Walang Aray sa third para sa local productions…”

Ngayon na-realize ko sobrang linear, limited, at boxed ko pala mag-isip nilalagay ko sila sa iisang categories para magbigay ng ranking

Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 4 made me think I should just watch them as it is

I should let the musicals/theaters speak to me without me dictating what it should be or what it should become lalo kung limitado at kokonti pa lang ang alam ko

Just like how I invested my time, mental bandwidth, and emotional connection in reading books where I have new interpretations, questions, and realizations each time I read them…

Babae sa Septic Tank 4 made me go down the rabbit hole wondering if this or that are certain symbolisms o baka trip lang nila at wala talaga meaning 😂 ako lang pala yun nagooverthink haha!

There are parts I feel I lost and there are parts which were really relatable

But what I will bring with me now with this experience is always watch every musical or theater with a Tabula Rasa or a “blank slate” taking off any judgment or criticism and just immerse myself into every detail of it

Kung na-disturb ako, then so be it

Kung humagalpak ako sa kakatawa kita na ngala-ngala, then so be it

Kung restless ako kaka-connect the dots, then so be it

Babae sa Septic Tank 4 reminded me I am a human BEing

…that I should just BE in the moment as it is

Maraming maraming salamat Ms Eugene Domingo!!!

Sobrang flex ko matuturing napanood ko in person ang laki ng passion ng puso mo para sa craft mo!!
