Jose Mari Chan Jukebox Musical Coming in 2024
Going Home to Christmas, an original jukebox musical featuring the music of Jose Mari Chan, is Repertory Philippines’ season-ender for 2024.
Running from November to December, the production will be directed by Leo Rialp, with Jeremy Domingo as assistant director. The musical is written by Robbie Guevara, Luna Griño-Inocian, and Joel Trinidad, with additional scenes by Cathy Azanza-Dy. Ejay Yatco will serve as musical arranger.
According to Griño-Inocian, the production will feature four distinct stories about relationships between father and son, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend. “Family drama, romance here and there, things that happen in Christmas, all set in an airport because everyone is going home to Christmas.”
“We writers were originally saying, it’s sort of like Love Actually except it’s very Pinoy in sentiment. A lot of the stories will sound familiar because they will be familiar in your experiences.”
Casting, venue, ticketing information, and other details will be announced soon.
