Reviews

“Ballet Philippines’ season opener, ‘A Gala Celebration’, was a tribute to dance itself, in its purest form, and as an expression and extension of the dancer.”

“Playwright J-mee Katanyag makes a witty spin-off of children’s stories into a new narrative.”

“This Joy Virata-helmed production is thoroughly delightful with its lovely (and sometimes hilarious) music by Michael Valenti and lyrics by Elsa Rael.”

The show makes use of Jerome Robbins’s original choreography, and primarily excelled at what it was being billed as: a dance musical.

“With stunning theatricals, especially for a student production, ‘Twin Bill’ perfectly addressed two of today’s youth’s most pressing issues. It showed not only what student plays could be, but also what they should be.”

“Joel Trinidad and Nicky Trivino co-direct this production with a clear understanding of the specificity, and has assembled a strong cast who are their own kind of triple threat: they act, they sing, and they’re hilarious.”

“Globe Live and 9 Works Theatrical has put together a crowd-pleaser that has undoubtedly set a precedent for locally-produced dance musicals.”

“You will come away from the theater with the parting thought that you may have just seen the best show the year has to offer, and you know what? You will be right.”
