‘Dalaga na Si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza’ to be Staged in June

Dalaga na Si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza, a sequel to the 2013 Maxie the Musical, will be running from June 13 to 22, 2025 at Illumination Studio, Makati City.

Staged just in time for Pride Month, this reimagining of Maxie’s story invites audiences to step directly into her glitter-filled, heartbreak-prone, and fabulously complicated world. Set five years after Maxie the Musical, the story follows Maxie Oliveros as she navigates love, identity, and resilience in a world that’s still catching up to her radiance.

Part drag show, part musical, part rallying cry—this immersive production promises to spark dialogue, emotion, and glitter in equal measure.

Presented by J+Productions under special arrangements with the original film makers and Ticket2Me, and line produced by PETA Plus, the new musical builds on the legacy of Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, the 2005 award-winning film that first introduced Maxie to the world. 

Breathing new life into Maxie Oh is Jamila Rivera, a fresh talent hailing from Naga City, Camarines Sur. Joining Jamila in the main cast are some of the country’s top drag performers: Zymba Ding as Katana G, Corazon as Elsa Balutan and Klang Klang, MRS TAN as Kriska B and Rainbow Bright, and Winter Sheason Nicole as Aqua Sweet and Mary Grace—alongside actors Jem Manicad as Mama Tars, Gerhard Krystoppher as Pretzels, and Gabriel Villaruel as Lili Lorena.

Rounding out the ensemble are Ado Villanueva, Air Paz, Gerald Magallanes, Honey Bravo, Jay Cortez, Marit Samson, Misha Fabian, and Robert Macaraeg.

This production is directed by Melvin Lee, written by Julia Icawat Enriquez and Mikaundre Gozum Santos, with musical direction, arrangement, and additional original songs by JJ Pimpinio.

Tickets are via Ticket2Me at P2,500.
