Manila, Philippines--The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) is looking for its principal and supporting casts for “One More Chance, The Musical,” based on Cathy Garcia-Molina’s 2007 hit film of the same name, and now featuring the music of folk-pop band Ben&Ben.

Casting for the well-loved characters of “One More Chance,” Popoy and Basha, along with other supporting roles, are up for grabs!

POPOY

Male, 20s, an engineer

Go-getter, always needs to be in control

Burdened with society’s traditional expectations of men; always means well but can be overbearing

BASHA

Bottles up her emotions for the common good or to avoid confrontation

Lost her sense of self while in a relationship with Popoy

All auditionees must submit 16 bars, or one stanza and one chorus, of the best part of any Ben&Ben or OPM song, along with four bars of choreography to any contemporary music. (more details HERE)

“One More Chance, The Musical” will hold its world premiere in April 2024 at the PETA Theater Center.

“One More Chance,” the musical, follows PETA’s previous jukebox musicals, such as “Rak of Aegis,” featuring the karaoke-favorite songs by the rock band Aegis, and “Three Stars and a Sun,” featuring the music by the late OPM icon and rap artist Francis Magalona.
