Laurence O' Keefe and Heather Hach's Tony-nominated musical comedy, based on the 2001 Hollywood flick starring Reese Witherspoon,  premieres in Manila on Friday, June 25, 2010.  The production takes pride in its star-studded cast highlighting the Philippines' more popular names in television, recording and musical theatre:  Nikki Gil (Elle Woods), Nyoy Volante (Emmett Forrest), Guji Lorenzana (Warner Huntington III), Cris Villonco (Vivienne Kensington), Jinky Llamanzares (Paulette Bonafonte), Jett Pangan (Professor Callahan), Calvin Millado (Dewey/Kyle), Joel Trinidad (Elle's dad), Felix Rivera (Grandmaster Chad), Anthony Tarrosa Ong, Jenny Jamora, Yannah Laurel, Emerita Alcid Trinidad (Serena), and Geneva Cruz (Brooke Wyndham).   

OAP has been selling and marketing musical theatre productions as fundraisers since 2008, Atlantis Productions Inc.'s "Hairspray" and "Avenue Q", and Stages Production Specialists Inc.'s "West Side Story" were among these shows. 

"...Best experience so far (in selling and marketing Broadway productions) is when you've got a sold out show like with "Avenue Q" and "West Side Story".  It feels great when you meet your earning projections," said Anton Diaz, OAP founder. 

"OAP is a lifestyle blog on food and travel secrets we discover in Manila, shared through our awesome family adventures (with wife Rache, and young sons Joshua and Aidan). We hope to  have our own theatre district in Manila so that more people would appreciate musicals and plays.  We'd love see "Mamma Mia" and "Lion King" playing in town."

"All my favourite local theatre artists are in 'Legally Blonde.' I'm so fascinated with the talent of Ms. Nikki Gil," he said.

"Legally Blonde" in Manila features stage direction by Chari Arespacochaga, choreography by Cecille Martinez, set design by Mio Infante, lighting design by Jonsy Reyes, musical direction by Beth Martin, and costumes by SM Department Stores.

The show is a limited engagement and will only run through Sunday,  July 18, 2010.
