Meet LES MISERABLES International Tour's Little People!
by Oliver Oliveros - April 09, 2016
While watching a revival production of Lionel Bart's 'Oliver!' in London, LES MISERABLES Co-creator Alain Boublil saw the similarities between literature's favorite little street urchins Oliver Twist, from Charles Dicken's novel of the same name, and Gavroche, from Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES, which sparked the idea to cowrite the novel-to-stage adaptation of the latter with Claude-Michel Schonberg more than 30 years ago.

BWW Review: #popepular Thinks Global, Acts Local
by BWW News Desk - March 31, 2016
To think globally and act locally in the current age of globalization might seem a little bit of a cliche; 'but it's far less common for [global] companies to really get it right because it's not just about [having] a local language website,' says The Economist. 'It means being where your customer is, speaking to them in their own language and, crucially, having culturally relevant messages and content.' Where most of these companies fail repeatedly, grassroots theater company Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) successfully embraces the decades-old mantra, especially resounding and resplendent in its current touring production, '#popepular: Pa'no Kung Pinoy Si Kiko?,' a new Filipino musical in Tagalog (Filipino).

BLUE MAN GROUP Embarks on a New World Tour, Includes Singapore, The Philippines

BLUE MAN GROUP is not your average stage show. It's a strange, comical, and surreal experience. How does one describe the indescribable? It's not a musical, it's not a play... it's an experience. While performance art comes closest to categorizing the show, what an audience experiences is really a unique communal party. - BroadwayWorld.com

BWW Review: Reimagined LES MISERABLES Asian/International Tour
by BWW Staff - March 20, 2016
LES MISERABLES stirred a musical maelstrom in Manila last Wednesday (March 16), and is poised to win audinces over via a memorable theatrical experience. At the heart of its seamless and dynamic storytelling beats a conscience that rouses, provokes, mangles, and transforms souls: a singular man's search for acceptance and meaning in a fractured and unforgiving 19th century France. This Cameron Mackintosh new production of Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil's legendary and popular musical takes center stage again, this time against the canvases of Victor Hugo's lesser known paintings--never before seen in the original London's West End and Broadway productions--providing a perfect complement to the production's memorable music and breath-taking sets of that iconic turning-barricade-flying-helicopter-falling-chandelier stature Mackintosh productions are known for.

BWW Review: LA FAMILIA PERATEDES, Based on Lorca's 'The House of Bernarda Alba'
by BWW Staff - March 13, 2016
Family is a serious matter for Filipinos; it's something personal, sensitive, and private. To have it as a central theme for a play is seldom traversed, and if so, it's done with prudence. In the current restaging of Victorio Concepcion's LA FAMILIA PERATEDES, a play in Tagalog based on Federico Garcia Lorca's 'La Casa de Bernarda Alba,' the production is worth a visit simply because of its familial theme that's seldom tackled. It also proves to be a timely work that exposes its audiences to domestic lives normally concealed because of destructive personal pride.

Nick Payne's CONSTELLATIONS has its flaws, but the humble ambition of this play, which premiered at the Royal Court Theatre's Jerwood Theatre Upstairs in London in 2012, delivers beyond what you expect. It's simply quantum mechanics--full of philosophical consequences and interpretations. It will leave you thinking what would be the outcomes of what you're doing right now. Everything is relative, right?
