Explore Manila, the Philippines and the World!

I clearly remember that particular afternoon when Hubby and I went to CCP to watch the Phantom of the Opera. It was my second time. The first was in Broadway. Hubby, on the other hand was his first. We were both so excited. We got there early so we had opportunity to take photos first.

When the play started, we weren’t speaking to each other until the break. We were just mesmerized! The songs, the voices, the stage setup, everything was amazing! Hubby who was not into these things loved it too. I was so glad I brought him along. It was a wonderful afternoon! ♥

I posted here that we are going to watch Disney’s Camp Rock the Musical, so yes, we did! And out little girl was over the moon!

I love the actors, actresses, the stage and the performance. They did a great job in portraying the roles of Michi Torres and Connect Three. I highly recommend that you watch it too, your kids will love the play!

Yey! I was so ecstatic when I learned that there is a Camp Rock musical play ongoing!

It is at Onstage Theatre, Greenbelt 1 and this musical play was brought to you by Repertory Philippines!

Watch over 50 Disney characters live in a Christmas spectacular for the whole family at Araneta Center.

More than fifty of your favorite Disney friends will return to the SMART Araneta Coliseum starting on Christmas Day, and party on ice in a never-before-seen show, Disney on Ice presents Let’s Celebrate!

The all-new production will showcase a magical medley of holidays and celebrations that will transform the Big Dome into a colossal party on ice. Audiences young and old will be delighted as they join Mickey Mouse and friends on a delightful tour of festivities jam-packed with fun surprises, spectacular skating and vibrant costumes. Filipinos will be enthralled as they witness one exciting event after another, including a Valentine’s Royal Ball with the newest Disney princess, Tiana; a very Merry UnBirthday Party with Alice and the Mad Hatter; Jack Skellington’s frightfully festive Halloween Party with the Disney Villains; and a Hawaiian luau with Lilo and Stitch.

Disney on Ice “Let’s Celebrate!” takes you to a holiday tour through the eyes of well-loved Disney characters. With Mickey’s Digital Global Destinator, we are able to travel to far-off places like China for the Chinese New Year and to Brazil for Carnival.

Mickey and pals will travel through each special time of year and according to Scenic Designer Robert Little sets the ice with iconic props that embody the essence of each celebration. Picture this: an illuminated cherry blossom tree mirroring the beauty of the Japanese Cherry Blossom, Sakura; a tree-like structure wrapped in gleaming white lights descends from the ceiling as snowfall blankets the scene of a Winter Wonderland; and an elegant canopy of shimmery fuchsia chiffon drapes the ice for a Valentine’s Royal Ball.

My kids will surely love Disney on Ice, but I wasn’t able to plan this budget and schedule wise. Too bad. Hopefully, there are more shows again next year!

My girls are going to LOVE this!

Here are more details grabbed from ClicktheCity.com…

Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID is the sparkling new Disney musical that has made a big splash on Broadway. Some of Disney’s most popular songs are featured in the show – including “Part of Your World,” “Kiss the Girl,” and the Academy Award-winning Best Original Song, “Under the Sea” – by the renowned songwriting team of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.

Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, has always longed to be a part of the human world, so when the evil sea witch, Ursula, grants her the opportunity to sprout legs and go after the heart of Prince Eric, she jumps at the opportunity. But with Ursula working against her she’ll need help from her friends and family if she is ever to see her dreams come true.

The stage adaptation also features 10 new songs by Menken and Glenn Slater, plus a book by Tony-winning playwright Doug Wright. It will be directed by Bobby Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga.

I got lucky last Saturday night because my friend gave out free tickets to the Spelling Bee play at RCBC. I loved it! I was laughing the whole time! Here are more details from StyleBible.ph.

The Tony Award winning Musical THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE opens March 20th and runs until April 4th at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati.

SPELLING BEE centers around a fictional spelling bee in Putnam County, New York. Six kids in the throes of puberty face off in the battle of their lives. They compete against each other as well as members of the audience. Three adults help adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane Vice Principal and The Official Comfort Counselor completing his community service to the state of New York. SPELLING BEE has a Tony Award winning book by Rachel Sheinkin and Music and Lyrics by Tony Award winner William Finn.

No two SPELLING BEE shows will be alike, as SPELLING BEE will feature “starring roles” each night for two volunteer audience members and two surprise celebrity guest spellers.

Atlantis Productions gathers a stellar cast of theatre veterans Cathy Azanza-Dy, Pheona Baranda, Johann Dela Fuente, Rycharde Everley, Carla Guevarra-Laforteza, Noel Rayos, Felix Rivera, Thea Tadiar and Joel Trinidad, who have all worked with Atlantis in the past.

SPELLING BEE is directed by Bobby Garcia, Choreography by Chari Arespacochaga, Set Design by Tuxqs Rutaquio, Lighting Design by Johnsy Reyes, Costume Design by Twinkle Zamora, Vocal Coaching by ManMan Angsico and Musical Direction by Jojo Malferari.

For tickets call 892-7078 or 840-1187.

The celebrity guest last Saturday was Rachel Alejandro and Miss D. This is highly recommended. Watch it if you have time! (*wink*)

Now, I’m off to find some insurance quotes for my Mom.
