Handsome, dashing playboy Bernard (David Bianco, who starred in Repertory Philippines's [Rep] "Next Fall") feels like the definitive Don Juan as he juggles three beautiful fiancees - all sultry and sexy air hostesses.

Bookwriter, composer, and lyricist Jim Eiler and composer Jean Bargy's stage adaptation of THE WIZARD OF OZ, based on the classic children's book 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, is Repertory Philippines Children's Theater's 20th anniversary offering, which has begun performances on Saturday, August 18, and will run for the next four months at Onstage Theater, Greenbelt One, Ayala Malls in Makati City.

A day before the musical opened, Repertory Philippines' THE WIZARD OF OZ held a press preview at Greenbelt One's Onstage Theatre with Cara Barredo as Dorothy Gale, along with James Stacey as the Scarecrow, Hans Eckstein as the Tin Man, and Oliver Usison as the Lion.

Repertory Philippines' current 45th theater season reaches fever pitch with the premiere of composer Frank Wildhorn and book writer and lyricist Leslie Bricusse's overtly melodramatic, pop rock-laden Broadway musical JEKYLL AND HYDE. However, Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, director for JEKYLL AND HYDE, along with her team, seems to have been rising above the original Broadway production's bad reputation since the local production opened last weekend. Whereas American critics find Wildhorn's body of work as "gallumphing, dunderheaded musicals that make everything by Andrew Lloyd Webber seems like great art," says Linda Winer of 'Newsday'; Filipino critics find Repertory Philippines' stripped-down incarnation of Wildhorn's most popular undertaking as nothing short of a miracle. "By doing away with the stage spectacle [without the high-tech gimmickry that marked its Broadway run], the focus was redirected to the actors - and rightly so," says Vladimir Bunoan of ABS-CBNNews.com.
