I just watched Jesus Christ Superstar (Manila) by GMG Productions at Solaire Theater and… Oh. My. God.—literally 😭
Una sa lahat, grabe!
The set, the props, the ensemble, the energy???
They didn’t just serve… they ATE.
And can we talk about Gab Pangilinan as Mary Magdalene???
Ma’am??? The vocals??? The presence??? I was converted on the spot.
There’s something about watching this show as Filipinos, like, alam mo yung kwento, you grew up with it, you’ve seen it in a million forms… pero iba when it’s retold like this.
Parang kahit ilang beses mo nang narinig yung story… kayang i-resurrect ulit 😭
Also—random but important:
THE GLITTERS???
Hindi ko in-expect pero… I’m here for it HAHA
So yeah, if you’re thinking:
“Worth it ba?”
Oo. As in oo!
So… manonood ka ba? 👀
