Choreographed and directed by Alice Reyes, Tales of the Manuvu is based on the retelling of the origin myths of the Manobo Tribe. National Artist for Literature Bien Lumbera wrote the script and lyrics for the music of Nonong Pedero. Katsch Catoy returns as lighting designer, whose mastery continues to add magic to the stage, while multi-awarded filmmaker and Broadway theater designer Loy Arcenas joins BP to create all-new sets and costumes.
This year, original cast members Celeste Legaspi and Boy Camara reunite with Ballet Philippines to once again lend their powerful vocals to the musical with Ding Mercado. Joining these musical legends are multi-awarded performers Shiela Valderrama, Lorenz Martinez, Nar Cabico, Reuben Laurente, Poppert Bernadas and Lara Maigue. Straight from her Miss Saigon tour in Irelend, Aicelle Santos will also be joining in this grand revival of Tales of the Manuvu by Ballet Philippines.
Don’t miss this entertainingly clever take on the enmity between the gods of good and evil, the creation of man and his empowerment.

March 22, 2019 | 8:00 PM
