A few days ago I was fortunate enough to be invited by Bobby Garcia to watch the press preview for “Hairspray!”  I love this musical as I have seen all its incarnations, from the original movie, then the
musical on Broadway and then another movie based on the musical.

Bobby Garcia and co-director Chari Aripacochaga

I met The director Bobby Garcia 10 years ago!  He was thinking of doing “Rent” in Manila and I have been a huge fan of his work since then. I try not to miss any of the shows from Atlantis Productions because it
is really world-class.  I even had the chance to work with him on several musicals like the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Dreamgirls” ( I did not the costumes).

I forgot the young lady who plays Tracy..however she was amazing!

Gino Gonzales...strikes a pose. Check out his shirt coordinating with his watch!

I loved the set and the costumes of this production as it is done by my friend Gino Gonzales another genius in the theater industry.  You may not know this but I am really a theater baby and this was my first love. I want all of you to see it as the show is really fantastic.  Check out Dulce as she portrays one the most unique characters on stage!

Other theater lovers were there too! Boy Abunda and the lovely KC Concepcion!

Boy with Tessa and Boy's partner of 25 years Bong! (WOW!!!)

The colorful set and costumes provide visual delight!

After watching the musical I am now very interested in these camper shoes designed by the famous spanish industrial designer Jaime Hayon. I am loving the baby pink! I want one for Christmas!

HUGS!
