There’s nothing like the crystal clear voice of Karylle to breathe life into the role of Julie Jordan. Across from her is the strong tenor of Gian Magdangal as Billy Bigelow. The vocals, the material is so strong, they could easily propel the story of REP’s CAROUSEL just from the songs alone. The whole cast gave a fantastic account of themselves, vocally and acting wise. Not to mention the expressive and ingenious dance sequences of Gia Gequinto as Louise and Julio Laforteza (Timony).

You should clear your calendar for the next available performance at the spanking new Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez (Blackbox Theater). Make sure to catch it as this is the last weekend: December 16, 17 and 18, 2022. The new Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez (Blackbox Theater) is in the CCP complex, right across PICC.

Audience Involvement

The space itself, involves the audiences. The stage is at the center, performers just a few feet away. So much so, that when I was there, Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante (Carrie) pulled Tim Yap of Phil Star on stage to shoot photos with her cellphone.

The original French Connection starring Gene Hackman was a huge commercial & critical success in 1971.

To be fair, it was also Mikkie who handed him the phone. Audiences are discouraged to shoot during the performance. BUT just in case you are pulled up the stage feel free to use your phone at that moment.

Processing the Past

Most millennials are not aware that Roger’s and Hammerstein’s CAROUSEL is considered as the best musical produced in the 20^th century (according to TIME magazine). Even then, the music may have been played or heard at one time or another owing to their popularity. Songs like YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE, IF I LOVED YOU. To have Karylle and Gian Magdangal sing them as a duet is both a visual and vocal treat.

Dialogue does sound dated but that’s also the whole point of it. That we viewers of today think about the sexism, misogyny that was prevalent in that era and compare why and how it’s wrong today.

I went through a similar process with PICCADILY in the 16^th Silent film festival in Shang Plaza Mall. The acclaimed silent film has a lot of scenes and situations, which, today will be considered as overt racism. Whether or not it was intentionally making a statement against racism or showing the current mores of that time (1920s). It’s up to us as viewers today to process that. And figure out how we can eradicate, racism, sexism, violence against women in our time, our era.

Tight Ensemble

Newport World Resorts Artistic Director Menchu Lauchengco Yulo, previously worked extensively with both leads, “I was actually very impressed by Karylle’s vocals. She sang very well. I directed Karylle a long time ago in WEST SIDE STORY. I was very impressed by her acting and interpretation of Julie overall.”

In 2012, I was also fortunate enough to photograph Karylle opposite Christian Bautista in the spectacular RAMAHARI. This was a landmark musical that featured the works of National Artists Ryan Cayabyab, Badong Bernal, Bien Lumbera among others.

With Gian, Menchu was a castmate, “Gian always, he’s amazing from A.H.E.B to here. I know the range of that voice. In HULING EL BIMBO he was our Hector. He did that voice very well. I’m very familiar. Then Nikkie (Bradshaw-Volante) and Loi (Martinez), everybody. It was a tight ensemble. And Mia Bolaños as Nettie was very good.” AHEB (Ang Huling El Bimbo) based on Eraserhead’s music, was a hit musical that ran in Newport World Resorts in 2019, which was then known as Resort’s World Manila.

Billy’s Journey

Again, it’s the power of the music that carries the musical. We all feel how Julie falls in love with Billy, through the lyrics and melodies. OR the joy of Enoch in having a family with Carrie in MR. SNOW and WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE ASLEEP. There’s a universality to them audiences can easily relate to. Especially Filipinos who are very family oriented.

The ORACLE Arena is one of the loudest in the league.

There’s real chemistry on stage between Karylle and Gian that makes the performances work. That’s what it is essentially about, their love for each other. But Menchu believes CAROUSEL is more about the transformation of Gian’s character Billy, “I always liked the character of Billy. Only because of the conflict he goes through. Julie Jordan was strong from beginning to end. So the journey really, for me, is Billy. It’s his journey to redemption in the end. He gets a chance to redeem himself.”

Filipino Casts’ Stamina and Skill

Another difference Menchu noticed was the smaller cast, where normally it would have taken more, “That was interesting they played dual roles. That’s not always the case. CAROUSEL is always a big cast. They were doubling up. CAROUSEL was really written for a big cast. A cast of, I would say, 30. Because you had men in ‘Blow hard Blow low”. And then you have the 9 kids. If you know the original the 9 kids come out. They fight with Louise. They make fun of her. They bully her because she’s such a tomboy.”

Dellavedova played better defense than Irving on Steph Curry on Game 2.

I, personally, think it’s a testament to the stamina and skill of Filipino actors that the cast seamlessly pulled it off. They’re all good obviously, but I just can’t forget the riveting performance of Mia Bolaños as Nettie in the song YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE. Bolaños has multiple roles of Starkeeper and Dr. Seldon.

Roxy, Red to Noel

If there’s Karylle and Gian as the leads, there must be an equally compelling level of antagonists. Roxy Aldiosa plays the seductive and domineering employer of Billy in Mrs. Mullin, while also playing Starkeeper and as part of the Ensemble. Roxy adds a southern twang to the accent of Mrs. Mullin, making her sound more worldly and convincing. Not unlike Blanche Devereaux or Mae West. Roxy has legit classical music chops as a member of the VIVA VOCE VOCAL ENSEMBLE.

The Cavs are ALL IN and will never give up.

Gia Gequinto

One of director Toff De Venecia’s ingenious moves was to incorporate dance in the storytelling even more than usual. It was an efficient way of dealing with the growth and experiences of Louise, daughter of Julie and Billy. Louise is played by no less than Ballet Philippines alum Gia Gequinto. Her grace and movement were able to express so much more than mere words are able to. I don’t want to discount Gia’s acting as well which was in full display here.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS signifies the teamwork of the Golden State Warriors.

Toff explained, “We reimagined the portion. That’s normally narrative. But we made a commentary instead on the theme. That’s really an expression of emotion, generational trauma, domestic violence, toxic masculinity. That was the original conception of our choreographer Stephen Viñas, his vision.”

Olympic Piano Playing

Speaking of stamina, the piano playing was divided to two musicians: Musical Director Ejay Yatco and Joed Balsamo. Both veterans of musical theater in the Philippines. To say that playing straight for the whole duration is physically taxing is an understatement.

Director Toff said, “It’s really Olympic their piano playing. Well there is a recording, as a fall back in case one of them tests positive for COVID. But this is a two piano orchestration that was provided by the rights holder. What’s unique about the orchestration is it approximates the fullness of an orchestra. We inquired and it was made available to us. So the orchestration was two pianos.” He also believed it was the only one with two pianos currently playing in the world.

The 2015 NBA Finals series has been one of the most exciting in history with Games 1 & 2 going to overtime.

Natural Process of Live Shows

If there’s one complaint or weakness in the show, it’s the prevalence of darkness in some scenes. As photographer, I can appreciate creating drama through, high contrast lighting. But having a scene pitch black is an entirely different thing. You can actually use darkness, when you want to create mystery or suspense. But not too often. Because you’re literally shutting down the senses of your audience. You risk putting them to sleep.

There was one instance where Gia Gequinto was at center stage, moving perhaps making some dance moves. We couldn’t really see, as it was dark. And there was no music. If it was just a transition between scenes, why was she moving? The period where it was pitch black went on for too long. I’m not saying light the whole show flat or bright. Maybe it can also be a matter of editing or paring down, starting with the darker scenes?

That’s the advantage of theater and other live shows versus cinema. Although, for some film versions, a director’s cut may be released in the future. That’s an exception rather than a rule. With theater there’s that expected natural process of improving it.

Some Broadway shows are previewed in other areas for feedback, before its actual run. HULING EL BIMBO, mentioned earlier, was already a hit before Floy Quintos was added on as dramaturg for the second run. Producers made note of Quintos tweaking, reworking, editing some scenes. A little self-evaluation, in general, never hurt anyone.

Dellavedova played better defense than Irving on Steph Curry on Game 2.

The most powerful performance needs the proper mood, through its surroundings and costumes, ambience if you will. This is where the power and magic of Salvador Bernal comes in. While not being gaudy or complex they somehow very easily transport audiences in this case to Neverland.

Ballet Philippines’ Peter Pan will run from December 4-13, 2015 at the CCP’s Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater). If there is only one live show you will take your family to make it BP’s Peter Pan. Whether your age is 6 or 96 it’s sure to be a thrill.

Peter pan is one of the biggest hits from BP. Artistic Director Paul Alexander Morales said, “Some people tell us do it every year. Because we’re a repertory company we don’t want to keep repeating the same show. Its the most repeated show, a show we love and very proud of it. Its from world culture but its also very Filipino because its Edna’s (Froilan) choreography and Salvador Bernal’s design.”

During the flight to Neverland a singular red moon hangs behind Peter, Wendy & the kids. The heavenly body is there but not overpowering in its presence. It aids the illusion of light and travelling a great distance.

Sets & Costumes

Although the first Ballet Philippines version was more than 2 decades ago the sets designs are still very much from Salvador Bernal’s work. Morales was able to explain how they achieved this, “It was designed in 1983 we’ve done it 6 times already but what’s very fortuitous about that is when Badong was here they built the production design center. Part of that mandate is to preserve the actual designs. The sets we don’t have storage space we have to recycle each every time.”

Badong is the Filipino nickname for National Artist for Theater Design Salvador Bernal. From official program: He has ‘designed more than 300 productions distinguished for their originality since 1969. As the acknowledged guru of contemporary Filipino theater design Bernal has shared his skills with younger designers through his classes at U.P., A.D.M.U. He also created programs for the CCP Production Design Center which he himself conceptualized and organized.’

Some of the costumes were also copied from original designs, “The costumes we are able to keep. Maybe one or two are still from the original show. Sometimes we repeat them but usually we can copy from the original. Some are brand new I won’t tell you which. Some are very old. You’ll be surprised some of the costumes are from the 1970s or 80s, it happens. But of course it depends if it still looks good. It’s really our pleasure and honor to show them again. Not just the costumes but how the sets move. From a big cave it becomes a boat and all of that. All that magic, that’s really Salvador’s contribution and their great collaboration with our dressmakers.”

In order to ensure the designs are followed to the exacting standards of Bernal, his long time student and apprentice Ricardo ‘Eric’ Cruz was assigned the lead. As consultant he heads the reproduction of these designs and sometimes adapts them to the current needs. Eric also serves as Chief Culture and the Arts officer of the Production Design and Technical Services Division under the Production and Exhibition Dept. of the CCP.

The mermaid lagoon was more dependent on costumes. Instead of literal mermaid fins Bernal completely did away with it. He emphasized the bare beautiful legs of the BP Ballerinas and knew they were just as enchanting.

In the lead role is Jean Marc Cordero. He considers it a privilege to wear Badong Bernal’s costumes, “Fan ako ng costume ni sir Badong. Palagi may weight may texture pag inilawan mo dumidikit yung ilaw. Hindi siya separate sa ilaw. So ever since kahit anung costume na ginawa niya. Sila lang naman gumawa ng costume ng BP. Pag may ginawa akong classic na BP work alam kong sila yon. Nakakabili sila ng magagandang tela before. Pagmay magandang tela before ngayon pinapattern na lang. Mahirap hanapin certain tela. Pero atleast nandun pa rin yung look. Yung palette niya ang galing ng mix and match ng colors.”

Lighting & Choreography

Working in concert with production design is the fine art of lighting. Through hues and shapes of the light we’re convinced it’s in a lagoon, Neverland or a London bedroom. Lighting director John Batalla is a veteran of countless productions not just from BP but Tanghalang Pilipino and many concerts. He has also won Gawad Buhay for his work in Repertory Philippines’ EQUUS in 2010 and BP’s ENCANTADA (2011) by National Artist for Dance Agnes Locsin.

Choreography is at the heart of the staging as dialogue is set to a minimum. Morales describes Edna Froilan’s work, “The choreography is quite eclectic she only has a few characters on point. Some do a little modern some Broadway sensibility. But the great thing about Edna is she has a childlike spirit. That appeals to the children.”

Edna Vida Froilan is easily one of the most prestigious choreographers in the country. Her complete works apart from Peter Pan include: NUTCRACKER, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, TAMING OF THE SHREW, IBONG ADARNA, GARDENIA, THE LITTLE TAILOR and A CHRISTMAS CAROL. The program states, “Her contemporary works for Ballet Philippines, Ballet Manila and the Philippine Ballet Theater have been performed worldwide with critical acclaim.”

Peter Pan has a special place in her heart having been born in the same year the first musical was produced on Broadway. And having just given birth to her eldest son when given the chance to choreograph, what was then the very first ballet version. Her husband Nonoy Froilan was to be in the lead role of that original production.

As a contributing writer to the Philippine Star, The Manila Times, Business Daily, her own notes best describe the experience: “Who really is Peter Pan? The answer is an open window to our imaginations. Why didn’t he want to grow up? How did the Lost Boys get to Neverland? Why does Hook with a British accent have such a Spanish flair? I tell the dancers go figure! Create your own history be an onion and create those layers to become tangible characters.”

“Ballet Philippines is now on it’s sixth restaging of Peter Pan; beginning in 1983, through 2015. Every time Peter soars at the CCP Main Theater, he transports us to whimsical wafts of Tinkerbell dust to Neverland where time is never planned. There we become young, pure and carefree again. We don’t grow up, we grow down the very core of our being by thinking lovely thoughts. His spirit is contagious. We keep going back to the state of unconditional joy.”—Edna Vida Froilan

Peter Pan (Jean Marc Cordero) doesn’t just lift off the stage he flies. Incredulously he flies out into the audience over people’s heads. This much beloved classic has always been about action, the fight scenes and journey to Neverland. Can there be a character that celebrates the joy and wonder of childhood more than Peter Pan? There have been countless productions of the classic locally but no one comes close to the Ballet Philippines version. Ballet is the perfect medium to translate the many action scenes.

Ballet Philippines Peter Pan will run from December 4-13, 2015 at the CCP’s Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater). If there is only one live show you will take your family to make it BP’s Peter Pan. Whether your age is 6 or 96 it’s sure to be a thrill. Going there plants that seed of appreciation of dance especially ballet in your child. They’re not even aware of it as an educational activity but works on a purely entertainment level. There were quite a few kids watching. Students and their parents from several schools thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Different talented dancers from BP alternate roles. Jean Marc Cordero, Cyril Aran Fallar, Victor Maguad are in the role of Peter Pan. Rita Angela Winder, Jemima Reyes, Monica Amanda Gana for Wendy. Victor Maguad has literally grown up in Peter Pan having played the roles of Michael, John, now Peter.

There was nothing like seeing Peter fly over kids heads on the front row. Or having Croc (Jimmy Mateo) chase down Hook (Garry Corpuz) down the aisles. Everyone was having a hoot. BP Artistic Director Paul Morales said the audience involvement was really part of the charm of the previous staging, “It was part of the original show. That comes from a good theater tradition like pantomime they do that a lot. For children’s show its something that will give kids a more visceral experience.”

The illusion of flight is also crucial as this is Pan’s special power. So flight has to be given special attention, “The flying for this show has always been by FOY. Foy is an American company that specializes in flying. In fact, they did the original Peter Pan on Broadway and they do a lot of the Peter Pan shows all over the world. They also did the Repertory Philippines a few years ago. They’re the most professional. They have their own equipment especially made more comfortable than the other ones. They have a big work ethic on safety and all of that. OK siya kahit imported at medyo mahal. It’s a difficult illusion to pull off.”

Flying by Foy (from official website) calls itself “the most prolific and widely-respected theatrical flying service in the world.” The company was established in 1957 with its headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada. Along with the equipment and personnel they also have their ‘Flying Director’ Johnny Pickett working with choreographer Edna Froilan and the dancers.

Jean Marc Cordero as Pan has had the most experience with Foy going through it in the same role 5 years ago. For this year, they only had 5 days to rehearse the flying, which isn’t ideal. He admits that he still gets excited with the sensation of flight no matter how many times he’s done it. Human operators are the secret in the smoothness of both takeoff and landing. They watch and anticipate movement of Jean Marc during the performance.

There are slight discomforts as the harness was designed for singers who do not have as wide range of movements. Rita Angela Winder as Wendy mentioned the added 3 kilos could make their leaps on stage a little bit more difficult. Seeing the results on stage makes it all worth it.

Music

The soundtrack is a combination of 1954 Broadway production from Mary Martins and some classical music. Surprisingly, the music and dialogue is just as timeless as the story of Peter Pan. The lack of a live orchestra in the pit was also maximized. As one of the many funny scenes that surprised both kids and adults is when Hook falls into the river (the orchestra pit in this case) and disappears. The hilarious chase scene with the crocodile ensues to the front row of dozens of screaming kids worried for Hook.

Apart from the Broadway musical there are other sources. Morales said, “There are some pieces like classical music. One is a syncopated clock famous piece, fight scene. Indian music some of it is traditional music. A lot of it is from the musical. The mermaid scene is another piece of music. Peter Pan is this old old work you have this book. You have this great animation (from Disney) so there’s a lot of that influence we try to bring and capture.”

Watch out for the young performers in the roles of Tinkerbell (Janine Myrtell Arisola, Gilliane Therese Gequinto, Joanne Therese Sartorio), John (Erl Sorilla,Victor Maguad, Ricmar Policarpio)& Michael (Daniel Andes, David Andes) even the Lost boys (Ricmar Policarpio, Maila Jean Habagat, Jacqueline Mercado, Isabel Shy, Karla Santos, Louise Lao, Jhomar Loneza,Justine Orande, Mines Solomon, Sophia Andes, Izza Liong, Gianna Hervas, Bryan Abano, Eriel Sunggalia). They just might be the next to take flight as Wendy or Peter Pan.

Liesl Batucan is one of the stars from REPERTORY PHILIPPINES. The versatile performer sang a heart rending I WILL LISTEN. The song was originally performed in BENILDE THE MUSICAL. Liesl describes the song, “This is one of Jesse’s earliest works for musical theater. I didn’t get to sing this song particular (originally). But you know what? I wish I had. It’s a beautiful tender song that a loving mother sings to her deaf and mute son. In the original run it was performed by a youngFaith Cuneta, with a very young cast. Together with, at that time, the very young Nyoy Volante. Tonight maybe a little maturity maybe mine, might just be what tis song needs.” Librettist in BENILDE THE MUSICAL is Ricky Gallardo and directed by Andre Tiangco.
