THE 39 STEPS by Repertory Philippines this March

how would you imagine an Alfred Hitchcock film turned into a funny Broadway adaptation? it's what we call The 39 Steps which is presented by Repertory Philippines on March 4-20, 2011 at Onstage Theater.

it features Michael Williams as Richard Hannay, the hero encountering incredible adventure; Liza Infante, playing 3 roles which Richard Hannay falls in love with; and surprisingly, Rem Zamora and Juliene Mendoza who plays the most roles -- imagine switching into character to character in just 100 minutes of non-stop, funny, crime busting sequences.

"The 39 Steps is one Repertory Philippines' big offerings for 2011. it has been carefully selected by Rep's Art Council led by Baby Barredo (Artistic Director)," said Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, Repertory Philippines' Associate Artistic Director.

this is also one of the first directions of Ana Abad Santos, who played the lead role in The Joy Luck Club in February. she also says that whether you're a Hitchcock fan or not, you will surely enjoy the mixture of comedy in The 39 Steps.

watch the following video for ticket information and play dates. :)

RENT is issued again in February

9 Works Theatrical's rendition of RENT is back due to a popular demand. and i am so happy that they have improved it from the last two runs. not only the production has tweaked, but there are new faces to expect in the rock musical.

first is Al Gatmaitan, who is an understudy for Gian Magdangal's character, Roger. also to alternate Sheree Bautista as Mimi, is Ciara Sotto who displays her pole dancing talent on stage.

this run also features a comeback for the original RENT cast of 9 Works Theatrical. Carla Guevarra-Laforteza who plays Maureen in the first run alternates Mian Dimacali. you really have to see how talented these girls are most especially in their moment performing Over the Moon.

i love the new production styles in this year's run. the lighting has improved and there's a very magical feeling watching the show. the actors also play their parts very well this time. they have imbibed the characters and they look very relaxed portraying their part. i happen to notice myself that they are named as their characters, forgetting that they are just actors. this has been the best staging of the show. bolder and fresher that you can come back again to watch.

for the third time, i still don't have that "sawa" factor. moreover, i have understood the message that RENT and Jonathan Larson is telling us. that love is the center of all and all of us are life supports of each other.

9 Works Theatrical's RENT is staged at Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, 4F RCBC Plaza, Ayala Ave. cor Gil Puyat Ave., Makati City starting February 12 - March 6 2011.

Show Schedule:
Feb 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, March 4, 5, 6.
Friday, Saturdays and Sundays at 8:00PM
Saturdays at 3:30PM
Sundays at 4:30PM

you can get your tickets at 9 Works Theatrical thru 5575860, 5867105 or 0917-5545560 or you can call TicketWorld at 891-9999.
