Its more than a party, The Kundiman Party theater review

By
Its Genius, the latest production happening in PETA Theater is not just a party, but it’s a celebration of patriotism way thru Kundiman songs, a classic original song of Filipinos given new life in story telling connecting past and present settings in the Philippine stage.
Kundiman Party by Floy Quintos that star Ms. Sharmaine Buencamino as Maestra Adella shine bright as a long lost forgotten icon of Opera, and her career is resurrected and evolve thru fame in Social Media, with the brilliant support of his friendly Tita’s, and a voice student and his boyfriend that is related to a powerful politician, thus complete a hilarious act that helps you engage on the current satire of our Government.
Under the Direction of Dexter Santos who have the image of staging a play that is complex but entertaining, restage The Kundiman Party with minor revisions to its original script, prove to be funny and not trouble you with all historical facts but let you think, and compare it to the real scenario happening in our society today.
Buencamino timing and delivery of punch lines is so good here, truly she is a versatile one and very good in comedy, having no lapel throughout the show along with all the cast, is a plus on this play since all of them deliver it with clarity, I must say that the biggest draw is the Three Titas, they are all great in providing the needed laughter for the show.
But one noticeable is the attack of Boo Gabunada playing Bobby, his appearance looks too excited that somehow overshadows other cast including Maestra Adela, maybe it was the requirement for the role but knowing Boo in his past productions, he seems like that, that some colleague call it “gigil na gigil” performance.
The set is beautiful with all the lighting and props, many feedbacks we hear from those who watch it from the previous restaging is they find the stage as smaller in space, but it doesn’t affect so far since all the actors even Boo deliver it in flying colors, the short appearance of Nonie Buencamino as Senator and Father of Bobby, along with the guest Opera singer is all remarkable one.
Catch the remaining show of The Kundiman Party and let’s enjoy our heritage songs like Bituing Marikit, Mutya ng Pasig, Nasaan Ka Irog and many more, here are the complete schedules and contact persons.

Kanser 2018, the latest take on Noli Me Tangere.

By
One iconic Philippine theatre experience is Kanser, the stage version of Noli Me Tangere that is written by our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. There are many versions of this play by different theater groups, from musical to straight play. Gantimpala Theater Foundation made it as their own biggest production for so many years, it keep changing and upgrading in many aspects, from color feel, to music ambiance and of course the magnificent cast that is challenge to portray iconic characters onstage. Kanser 2018 proves to adopt the needful in terms of stage show, a showcase of photos and some graphics is on the projector during the performances, some new twist in some remarkable scenes is implemented, like the slapping scene of Maria Clara and Padre Salvi which the audience find it humorous. But the kissing scenes of Crisostomo and Maria Clara is always the favorite mostly by the students, they feel the “kilig” somehow.

The fun love in Momol Nights. Movie Review

By
Romantic Movie in Filipino setting takes another leap in Momol Nights, an iWant movie original streaming free online. The movie stars promising actress Kim Molina and Kit Thompson under the direction of Benedict Mique, Jr.
Having Molina in the cast you can expect a great comedy acting, from stage to TV series to Movies, Molina proves she can handle well in delivering all needed for a character that need to be seen and felt by the audience. And that’s the very reason I watch Momol nights, because that’s how I adore this promising actress that I’ve seen first in a theater production of “Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading lady.”
In Momol Nights which is acronym for Make out, Make Out Lang style of dating that usually involve lust or sex and nothing else, the movie is centered on Molina’s to die for searching for a man of her dreams, and achieving that is taking an option of One Night Stand only to give in her desire of finding Mr. Right. However, it was the other way around as she expects m…
