The season opens not with a whisper, but with a heartbeat. With its 2026 curtain-raiser, The Sandbox Collective delivers a charged staging of 'Spring Awakening'—the Tony Award–winning phenomenon that once jolted Broadway and now electrifies Makati City

The Sandbox Collective launches its 2026 season with a raw, radical revival of the 2006 Tony Award-winning rock musical 'Spring Awakening.'

The Sandbox Collective officially kicks off its 2026 season with the Tony Award-winning rock musical 'Spring Awakening.'

The Sandbox Collective, under the new artistic direction of Sab Jose-Gregorio, will launch its 2026 season with a highly anticipated production of the eight-time Tony Award-winning musical 'Spring Awakening,' opening in February 2026 at the Black Box in Rockwell Center, Makati City.

Once upon a time, Stephen Sondheim's (music and lyrics) and James Lapine's (book) 1986 musical 'Into the Woods' was written to appeal like a mashup of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales—thus, the show's commercial allure.

Get a first look at Theatre Group Asia's (TGA) first musical production, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Into the Woods, at the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre, Circuit Makati. It runs for a limited 24 performances only, and the run is completely sold out.
