SILVER LINING at Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium

“Silver Lining,” featuring music by Jack Teotico and book and lyrics by Joshua Lim So, follows the story of three friends, Leo, Anton, and Raul, from an exclusive boys’ school who are now in their senior years. These friends form a band and even recruit their wives and children for their golden anniversary reunion at their alma mater.

However, after rehearsing for over a year, the new band was told they could only perform three musical numbers at the homecoming, which led to the band’s decision to present a musical instead. As the musical preparations unfold, Leo, Anton, and Raul recall their teenage years in the ‘70s.

The musical explores two timelines: the turbulent times of the ‘70s Philippines and today’s social media-frenzied society.
