From: Theater Down South Pays Tribute To Sondheim, FORUM Runs Through 10/30

It's Manila's turn to greet musical theatre legend Stephen Sondheim a happy 80th birthday. Two Sondheim musicals are opening this month of October: one of which is prolific theatre company Atlantis Productions Inc.'s touring production of 'A Little Night Music', starring Philippine cinema's multi-award-winning actress Dawn Zulueta as Desirée Armfeldt; the other one is community theatre company Theater Down South's (TDS) production of 'A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum', featuring young thespians Chino Veguillas as Pseudolus, Jacob Kliatchko Gayanelo as Hero, and Carla Gonzalez as Philia.
