Its more than a party, The Kundiman Party theater review
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.
