The best things from the 70s relived in Eto na! Musikal nAPO!

It's good to hear stories from the people who lived from the 70s and 9 Works Theatrical will bring us to memory lane as they bring the music of the APO Hiking Society in the upcoming musical, Eto Na! Musikal nAPO this August.

Since this is a major throwback production, I've asked the the musical's creative team about what they miss in the 70s. Sab Jose thought that it was nice when people ought to really talk and meet each other even the absence of technology like how we do it today. Raul Montesa recalls that people were very active and they spend the time outside their homes and nobody gets sick. Director Robbie Guevara adds they would look for a place where they can chat as long as they want and play guitar and have a great time.

Hearing it from one of the APO Hiking Society trio, Mr. Jim Paredes relates that he misses men and women were gentlemen and ladies during the 70s: when seats are offered or help to someone that needs it and gain friends; when people got to talk about about ideas and ideals. Such values are slowly going down the drain and he believes that Eto Na! Musikal nAPO will help people to connect once again and be good to each other.

Eto Na! Musikal nAPO! tells the story of a group of friends in their college days who are joining a music contest and chronicles the things that would go in between. Friendships, relationships, studies and all that would make student life hard but bearable. Featuring the songs of APO Hiking Society, the musical promises to bring audiences, young and all, to sing-along to the tunes of Awit ng Barkada, Pumapatak na Naman ang Ulan, Di Na Natuto and more, and reminisce the period that many of us had.

Eto Na! Musikal nAPO! cast welcomes back actor Mark Bautista, GMA artist Rita Daniella, Jeff Flores, Peachy Atilano-Guevara, Sab Jose, and more.

Eto Na! Musikal nAPO is 9 Works Theatrical's offering on its 9th season and paves the way to 9WT's more of original Pinoy musicals. Runs from August 3-26, 2018 at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater. Directed by Robbie Guevara. Get your tickets at Ticketworld or call 891-9999.
