LES MISÉRABLES MANILA

Les Misérables will tour Manila in 2016!!!
WHAT???

I first heard of this news back in September 2015.

O-M-G!!! I was both excited and saddened. Excited because I've always wanted to watch one on Broadway, and it being performed in Manila is next to the real dream! Saddened because it happened at a time when my work situation wasn't doing all too great! Thus, the chance of ever seeing it was next to impossible for financial reasons. But thanks to people called siblings, I might just get what I wished for as a teenager.

I took this when I went to City of Dreams in Manila last January, and learned that Solaire was just nearby. I am THAT excited!

Growing up in UP Cebu exposed me to theater. Sadly, I'm the shy type and isn't a performer. Thus, I am content being part of the audience. Still, this specific type of performing arts is something I enjoy. I even like musical theater even though I'm not musically inclined. My favorite is Les Misérables. I can no longer recall when I first heard of it, but definitely it was back in my UP days. I think it was around my high school when Miss Lea Salonga was cast as Eponine on Broadway! Anyway, my siblings know that I love this play! I can't sing "On My Own," but listening to it just warms my heart! IF I know how to sing, it will definitely be a song choice. My former and original two work dudes could vouch for it. So, I was ecstatic when I received e-mails from my sister and brother suggesting that we watch it, and that they would initially shoulder my ticket for it! YAY!

OK, enough back story!

Meet the Cast - Some of them at least!
