The Male Form Issues on Stage This April

Gold Aceron, Nil Nodalo, Jake Cuenca, and Mikoy Morales comprise the cast of D***Talk

Looks like the men will take the stage this coming April as V-Roll Media Ventures and its sister company Trifecta Band Lab does a theatrical production does a run of DIC*TALK. Directed by Phil Noble (who's done several movies and TV shows) this show will tackle mostly the male form, masculinity, manhood, and the male organ. Tickets are out now on TICKETWORLD for shows from April 15, 16, 18-21, and the 23rd.

Performers include multi awarded actor Jake Cuenca, esteemed indie actor Gold Aceron, singer and actor Mikoy Morales, theater actor Archi Adamos plus trans man Nil Nodalo who will be doing the LGBTQIA+ role on the show. Surely this will be something that will be a little uncomfortable for some to tackle, but they will anyway. The show was created by Edwin Vinarao and writers Ara Vicencio, Benj Cruz Garcia. Much of the talk will be relatable, current, funny and less preachy, this will be intereseting to see on stage.

You can liken this to the previous hit show Vag*** Monologues but of course will be talking about the opposite one. Much of which will be no holds barred, very revealing way. Make sure you get tickets at premier.ticketworld.com.ph and seats range from Php 2000-Php 3650, this will be at the RCBC Theater in Makati. Go do it!

Are You Ready for Kinky Boots?!

I haven't had the opportunity to see this yet but I'm raring to go in their Manila staging. Kinky Boots has been praised and received quite well in Broadway on this remarkable creation made with music and lyrics by the phenomenal 80's icon Cindy Lauper based on the book by Harvey Fierstein. Performed mostly by men and women in drag, there's no other musical that would have been able to personify Charlie Price the Milan Stage Manager, Lauren, Nicola and the other cast than by doing it with people with THE ball$ to do so. It already had won a Tony, and Grammy awards so if you think this would be something that you should brush off, you better think again.

In the story, Charlie Price inherited a struggling shoe factory from his Dad and eventually met drag queen Lola and her crew called "Angels" making a new line and later on successfully reviving his business because of the fabulous things they created for them.

These angels exuded the glitz, the glamour and did out of this world performances and needed some people who could do as well in Manila. This is part of the reason why they got professional dancers in the cast, and they sought the greatest ones like AddLib Dancer Mark Pineda, Singer and Actor Gerhard Krysstopher and G Force's Ritz Beltran, Jazztin Cacayan, Michael Jahnke and Jorge Jahnke. This has been very challenging for them as the standards have been automatically raised because of this being a Broadway piece. Not to mention the style of dancing is quite different of what they're generally been used to in shows that they do here in the Philippines. Kinky Boots also needed them to dance in heels, which isn't the norm in most numbers that they do in variety shows or plays they've done in the past. Doing that the whole run is also hard, but it didn't stop them to learn and love this staging... and they'll show you why at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium at the RCBC Tower in Makati.

Tickets are still available for the show through https://www.ticketworld.com.ph and priced Php 4180, Php 3135 and Php 2090 on reserved seating. You should never miss this as this will only run from June 30 to July 23. I would have to free my own schedules to actually have a glimpse of this show, which I'm sure I would absolutely love!

Are you ready to wear those kinky boots too? LOL!

Tony Award Winning Fun Home Goes On Repeat Run

It has been able to captivate audiences in Broadway and other places in the US. Add to that the successful Manila run with cast that includes Lea Salonga, Eric Kunze, Cris Villonco and Laurence Mossman. The Tony Award winning musical will begin a second showing starting March 10 - 19 at the same venue for only 12 performances. Now you will still get the chance to see why they've won a total of 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical.

Fun Home isn't just a coming out story, but more of a tell all tale of family relationships and how they react on issues with gender, work, in an unfamiliar setting because it's actually done mostly in a funeral home. Best of all, this is based on a true story and people, whether straight or not would be able to relate to the characters in the story because ultimately this is about the family. This is also topbilled by world class Filipino stage actors and actresses plus several foreign/broadway based cast members. You're surely not shortchanged in any way, shape or form. A word of warning though, this isn't really for kids as Ms. Lea Salonga told us there will be some profanity involved. It would be better for teens and up with parental supervision.

Fun Home will be shown at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditiorium, RCBC Plaza in Makati City. You may call Ticketworld at 8919999 or by online at www.ticketworld.com.ph if you would like to watch the show. 

This is going to be good!
