The talents behind “Manyila... Sa
Mga Kuko Ng Liawanag” are really excited to share this original musical to
local audiences. A musical adaptation of the movie directed by National Artist
for Film, Lino Brocka, based on the timeless novel by Edgardo Reyes, “Maynila”
tells the story of Julio Madriaga, a simple guy from a coastal town, and his
search for his long-lost beloved, Liagaya Paraiso, who left for Manila.
Julio is played by the talented
Arman Ferrer, while amazing singers Shiela Martinez and Lara Maigue alternate
as Ligaya. Other members of the cast are the indomitable Dulce and the equally
incredible singer Ima Castro, who alternate as Mrs. Cruz; Rita Daniela and
Aicelle Santos who alternate as Perla; and many others.
The cast of over 40 astounding
performers has been painstakingly rehearsing for weeks under the direction of
the multi-awarded Joel Lamangan, DGPI. Original music was written for
“Maynila... The Musical” by awarded composer Von De Guzman; with choreography
by another multi-awarded artist, Douglas Nierras.
With a
story as timely and timeless as this, “Maynila...Sa Mga Kuko Ng Liwanag” is
perfect not just for theater aficionados but for students as well. Support
Filipino theater and original work by rallying behind a true collaborative
effort of the best talents in the industry.
