Mamma Mia captivates Manila
If the opening night is any indication of how the Manila run of Mamma Mia would be like, I would say that audiences can expect a very enjoyable and irresistible show. Be sure to leave your inhibitions home and pack that inner dancing queen in you as the show will definitely bring it out like it did the gala audiences that broke into simultaneous dancing and sing-along before the show ended.
The international cast is led by Sara Poyzer that plays Donna Sheridan. Poyzer has performed in hit shows like Othello, Billy Elliot – The Musical, and Merchant of Venice. Donna's spirited daughter, Sophie Sheridan, is played by Charlotte Wakefield who was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical at the 2010 Laurence Olivier awards.
The group has previously performed in Dubai, Germany, Sweden, Prague, New Zealand, Turkey, China, and Tapei. In the UK, they became the highest grossing musical the New Castle Metro Radio Arena has ever hosted and has sold over £1 million worth of tickets in the first fortnight at the Bristol Hypodrome.
The production features 22 Of Abba’s Hits Including: Dancing Queen, I Have A Dream, Knowing Me, Knowing You, The Winner Takes It All and the hilarious rendition of Chiquitita.
If you are concerned about comparisons with the film, this is an entirely different experience. This will not make you feel like a mere spectator. This feels like an awesome party that you are actually invited to. So grab your tickets now and join in on the fun.

KC's Rogue cover decoded
What do you do after a break-up? 1. You cut your hair short and then 2. You go have a (sexy) pictorial. This is exactly what KC Concepcion did and you just have to pick up the latest issue of Rogue to see just how sexy she can be.
Of course people would have a take on what a spread like this means. This is one interpretation I picked up at twitter. Some netizen took time to decode the now controversial cover of KC that is being linked to her recent break-up with actor, Piolo Pascual.
Personally, I don't love the cover. There is something awkward about that pose. But I like the fierce new look and the attitude that it exudes.
The Sound of Music extends run until May 27, 2012
