Sweeney Todd

You all must know that I love the theater. I practically grew up in the theater!  My mother would always take us to watch and at the tender age of 6, I performed in The King and I!  LOL!

I just have to tell you that I just saw Repertory Philippines‘  Sweeney Todd and it was FANTASTIC!  I must really congratulate REPERTORY PHILIPPINES!  MABUHAY KAYO!!!!!

You all really must see how amazingly talented  this cast is!  Everything about the production was flawless!  Sweeney Todd is my favorite musical!  The songs are just so moving and  hauntingly beautiful!  I cannot stop raving about this play!

The costumes created by Gino Gonzales are genius!  The direction of Tita Baby Barredo and Michael Williams was stunning!  The acting of Auddie and Menchu brought tingles down my spine!   A big plus is watching my super talented cousin Franco Laurel in his element, as he sings so beautifully!   AY NAKU!!!!

Just come and see the play because this will really make you fall in love with theater.  I dare say that this production was at par, if it did not surpass, the plays that I recently saw in New York!

The play opened last Nov 14 and it will run till Dec 13.  Please visit www.repertory-philippines.com for more information!  I am so excited to watch it again!
HUGS!
RAJO!


 PS: The actor who plays Toby is so talented he kills me!  The way he sang the song “Not While I’m Around” brought me to tears!  That scene was worth the price of admission!  I would pay 3 times as much to watch this amazing production!
