Rockwell’s Proscenium Theater Builds on its Opening with Two New Shows

Starting September 26, Rockwell’s Proscenium Theater opened with the premiere of The Bodyguard The Musical, staged by 9 Works Theatrical. With its compelling story, music, and choreography, the production gives theatergoers a reason to experience the newly opened venue, where it continues to run until October. Praised by the press as a stellar production with an outstanding cast, it’s a show worth catching—or even revisiting—while it’s on stage.
And Rockwell shows no signs of slowing down. In just the span of three to four months, the Proscenium Theater will banner not one, but three major productions—starting with The Bodyguard and soon followed by two more grand shows. With such a robust lineup in its opening quarter, Rockwell makes clear its vision to keep the year alive with culture and performance, positioning the theater as a vibrant destination for artistry and entertainment.

With its state-of-the-art design and world-class acoustics, the Proscenium Theater provides the ideal stage for some of the Philippines’ most celebrated talents. From the grandeur of its architecture to the intimacy of its performances, the theater stands as both a cultural landmark and a home for Filipino excellence.

The Maestro Takes the Stage
On November 14 and 15, 2025, Rockwell’s Proscenium Theater will proudly present its first concert - the MaestroClass Concert Series by National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab.
A pillar in Philippine music, Cayabyab has been part of Rockwell’s journey—gracing its events and stages through the years. Now, he makes his debut at the newly opened Proscenium Theater, leading the launch of a series where each concert promises a distinct theme and musical experience. With exciting guest performers to watch out for, this opening night sets the tone for an exhilarating season ahead. Expect a remarkable start as Cayabyab harnesses the theater’s world-class acoustics and Steinway pianos to celebrate Filipino artistry at its finest.

A Rockwell Holiday Tradition Comes Alive
For years, Rockwell Center has stood as a beacon of Christmas cheer with its iconic tree lighting, signature lights, and holiday décor that exudes warmth and creates moments of togetherness that define the season. Beyond being a place to shop and dine, Rockwell has become a true holiday destination.

This December, Rockwell and 9 Works Theatrical proudly present the beloved hit musical A Christmas Carol, directed by Robbie Guevara with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and book by Mike Ockrent and Lynn Ahrens. A spectacular Broadway adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic, the production tells the timeless story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his ghostly encounters on Christmas Eve. With themes of redemption, family, and generosity, the show captures the holiday spirit at the heart of Rockwell’s traditions.
Running from November to December 2025, A Christmas Carol will mark the Proscenium Theater’s third major show of the year, capping off an excitement-filled season of performances. Perfectly complementing Rockwell’s legacy of making Christmas a cherished experience for all, this timeless classic promises to bring the magic of the holidays to life on the Proscenium stage.

The Curtain Rises on What’s Next
As The Bodyguard continues to light up the stage, Rockwell looks ahead with two more landmark
productions that will define its inaugural season. With MaestroClass and A Christmas Carol
rounding out the year, the Proscenium Theater affirms its place as a new home for Filipino artistry,
global-quality productions, and shared cultural moments. More than just a venue, it stands as
Rockwell’s promise to keep the community inspired, entertained, and connected—season after
season.

A Christmas Carol 2017



When Globe Live's Joe Caliro mentioned that we should be making a new Christmas tradition, I thought, what else would be greater than all the family gatherings, carollings, parties, etc? I am pretty satisfied with what already is going on with Filipinos -- but then I saw 9 Works Theatrical's A Christmas Carol, now I believe that there should be more ways to celebrate Christmas.

Seeing it in front of the stage, I can clearly see everything that was happening. And I say, there's quite a lot. Note the special effects when Ebenezer Scrooge (Miguel Faustmann) was haunted by ghosts with Jacob Marley, and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come is something that I have never seen in previous production of A Christmas Carol.

From waltzes to tap dances and grand ballets, prepare for the spectacular show especially during the Fezziwig Christmas Ball. The grand party has a lot of surprises. But the whole show is a feast to the eyes and ears. The cast, costumes and everything there is in this production will be a constant reminder of Christmas to everyone.
And what is Christmas without the promise of snow inside the theater? Bring back a child in you and experience snow from the theater. A truly magical experience that will touch families and individuals alike.
Watch A Christmas Carol by 9 Works Theatrical and Globe Live until December 27 at the BGC Amphitheater. Also take the opportunity to help the families of fallen heroes in the Marawi Siege by buying a handmade parol for P200 and hang it on the Christmas tree at the theater. A Christmas Carol is
