‘Spot On! A Cabaret: Who Are These Divas?’ Returns This October with New Songs and a Special Guest
After a successful run earlier this year, Spot On! A Cabaret: Who Are These Divas? is set to make its return on October 23 at 8:00 PM at District One Gastrolounge, 9th Avenue, BGC, Taguig. The cabaret once again spotlights the new generation of Filipino theater performers, featuring a refreshed setlist and a special guest artist, as it continues to chart the artistic journeys of some of today’s most exciting young talents.
The production is directed by Gabo Tiongson, with GJ Frias returning as musical director. This rerun reunites core performers Katie Bradshaw, Felicity Kyle Napuli, Albert Silos, Ericka Peralejo, and Gabo Tiongson, and welcomes Nic Chien as a special guest artist.
According to producer Sweet Plantado-Tiongson, the cast themselves were eager to revisit the show. “The kids wanted to have a repeat,” she shares. “They prepared and learned a lot of new songs, so that’s something to look forward to.”
Chien’s inclusion came about organically. “Nic Chien watched the anniversary show of Spot On last August. It was a fun reunion with his Matilda the Musical castmates (2017 Atlantis production with Gabo, Kyle, and Ericka). He asked them if he could join next time. I said perfect timing for the October repeat,” Sweet recounts.
The cabaret’s structure remains the same, unfolding in two acts that reflect the performers’ evolution as artists.
Featuring numbers such as “Waiting for Life,” “Therapy,” and “Astonishing,” Act I takes a reflective look at their pre-pandemic beginnings, channeling the hopeful energy of 2019 when they were auditioning for musicals just before the world paused.
With songs like “Gawin Mo Akong Sining,” “Not Getting Married Today,” and “World Burn,” Act II shifts to the present, highlighting dream roles and personal favorites that mirror their growth into adulthood.
With a mix of returning highlights, new additions to the setlist, and Chien’s addition to the lineup, the October rerun of Spot On! promises a vibrant and heartfelt evening that celebrates the new generation of Filipino theater performers.
