Can't Wait for a Miracle


Globe Live and 9 Works Theatrical will bring back the heart warming musical  "A Christmas Carol". They officially opened yesterday to a full house and based on my very active Facebook feed made quite a few   Christmas cheer believers out of them. Hopefully, they'll make a believer out of me too when I come see them tom! 

But before that let's talk about what they promise to deliver.

This is not a re-run. 

Glove Live Executive Producer couldn't be more emphatic about that. After a string of successes, he is determined to raise the bar even higher and that just means they can't do the same thing two years in a row. With the leadership of Director Robbie Guevarra, they promised to unearth new layers  to the story.  The choreography will be redone by PJ Rebullida and Yek Barlongay( for tap ) to match the new sets created by Ed Lacson..

Newbies, Oldies and Goodies
The cast is composed of half of the new cast and half of Carol newbies. Reprising the role is Scrooge Veteran  Miguel Faustman. Playing the young Ebeneezer Scrooge is  Laurence Mossman.

What's good about the mix is that they will get to relearn the material together so it wont be a matter of anyone having to catch up. The appreciation of the material will be  from different perspectives and it is expected that the unification of ideas will result to  richer output 

Ultimate cuties 
The children in the cast are just too cute for words. Jaime Yupangco and Elai Estrella who will take on the role of Tiny Tim were very eloquent when they were asked about the show. They confidently explained their journey. They were eager to tell the people how the story is all about finding what love is all about.  They are not the only kids in this production but I will tell you this. Having met all of them, they are all genuinely good artists already. 


Miracle Within

With a hashtag of #TheMiracleWithin, it is implied that they will allow the audience to rediscover the miracle themselves. With the production's trademark of inclusion, I fully expect to find out for myself what kind of miracle I need this Christmas Season. 

Can't wait to see it all unfold on stage! See you at the theatre?



Globe Live and 9 Works Theatrical’s A Christmas Carol will be shown at the Globe Iconic Bonifacio High Street Amphitheater, Bonifacio Global City on December 7-9, 14-16, 21-22 & 26-27 at 8:00pm, December 10 & 17 (Sundays) and December 25 Christmas Show at 7:00pm.
