God of Carnage

Atlantis assembles four world class talents in one award winning play

The Story 

It is about two pairs of parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park, who meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into chaos.

The Success

The play was a success in its official French language, but has been equally acclaimed in its other English-translated productions in both London and New York.

God of Carnage received six Tony Award nominations and won Best Play, Best Lead Actress in a Play (Marcia Gay Harden) and Best Direction of a Play (Matthew Warchus) and a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Play.

The Manila production stars Tony Award and Olivier Award winning actress Lea Salonga.

Joining Lea is Singaporean-Chinese movie, tv and theatre actor, Adrian Pang.

They were last seen together in Singapore Repertory Theatre’s production of They’re Playing Our Song in 2000.

Little Mermaid Manila - A Success

The reviews are in and everyone who has seen the production is in agreement that the musical is simply amazing.



Erik Santos is a dashing Prince Eric and Rachelle Ann Go is just perfect for the role. To watch her sing live is just divine.



The web is buzzing with positive tweets:

Disney's The Little Mermaid

It has been a good year for Philippine theater and Atlantis Productions is one company who made it a little more special by staging award-winning musicals one after the next. To close the year, they're bringing in Disney's The Little Mermaid. It will sure be a treat to both the kids and the kids at heart.



Based on one of the most beloved Disney films of all time and the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "Disney’s The Little Mermaid" is the sparkling new Disney musical that’s made a splash on Broadway. Some of Disney’s most popular songs are featured in show – including "Part of Your World," "Kiss the Girl," and the Academy Award-winning Best Original Song, "Under the Sea" – by the songwriting team of 8-time Academy winner Alan Menken and the renowned Howard Ashman.

An Exciting 2011 Ahead!

2011, like the previous year should prove to be exciting.

True, the 24 movie script has been initially rejected which means that it would take longer for 24 fans to see Jack Bauer and Chloe on the big screen, but when it comes to movies for 2011, there are already a few that I'm very excited to watch but then again this post is not about upcoming movies so I'll skip this.

For 2011, I'm excited about:

1. My brother's wedding. I think nothing can be more exciting than us joining our brother on his special day as the year opens.



2. Our trip to Bangkok.This will actually be my first time to go there and I can't wait.



3. The Rocky Horror Show, The Lion King, Closer, Next to Normal, AIDA, and The Little Mermaid - the theatre scene in  Manila  and here in Singapore couldn't be more vibrant.



4. Our brand new savings plan. This will at least ensure that a portion of our earnings is protected.

5. The BlackBerry Playbook.



6. Micah visiting Singapore this summer.



As early as now, I'm already looking forward to a lot of things that this year will bring. Happy 2011 everyone!

Xanadu

When we decided the last minute to book a trip to Manila, I checked which productions are running coinciding with my visit. My first choice was the Tagalog version of American Hwangap because of Gina Pareno, However, I read somewhere that during the said dates, there are no Tagalog performances so I got tickets for Xanadu instead (it turns out that I read wrong).

Oliver secured the tickets for me and I read a little about Xanadu online. Twitter was also buzzing with positive reviews so it got me all the more excited.

It tells the story of a muse Clio/Kira (Rachel Alejandro) who descends from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, CA on a quest to continually inspire Sonny (Felix Rivera), an artist in realizing his dream of building a roller disco.

It was a fun fun ride, doing a little bit of research on the musical helped since there were a few references to the movie version and 80s pop culture. Em-J was laughing out loud the entire time. We were both impressed with Rachel Alejandro, we love her and her southern and Australian accent.

We left the theatre LSS-ing on Xanadu which I think Atlantis anticipated because the program has a soundtrack included. Needless to say, we listened to the cd as soon as we got back.

OMIGOD YOU GUYS!!!
