‘Mula sa Buwan’ Set for 2024 Rerun
At tonight’s curtain call of Bar Boys: A New Musical, whose sold-out run officially closed this evening, Barefoot Theatre Collaborative announced that Mula sa Buwan is set to return to the stage this August.
Myke Salomon, Gab Pangilinan, and MC Dela Cruz will reprise their roles as Cyrano, Roxane, and Christian, respectively.
Returning to the creative team are Salomon as musical director, Ohm David as set designer, Meliton Roxas Jr. as lighting designer, JM Cabling as choreographer, and Bonsai Cielo as costume designer. Mikko Angeles, who previously served as associate director, will helm the 2024 production.
Based on Edmond Rostand’s classic Cyrano de Bergerac and Soc Rodrigo’s Filipino Translation, Mula Sa Buwan is about dreamers, fools, and misfits fighting for their place in society amid the war-torn landscape of 1940s Manila. It is written by Pat Valera (book, adaptation, original lyrics) and William Elvin Manzano (original music and original lyrics).
