I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH to find out more about the upcoming staging of the Broadway musical, Avenue Q in Manila, Philippines. Brought to life by Atlantis productions, Avenue Q, will start playing on September 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 22, and 23, 2007
at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium at the RCBC Plaza in Makati. The ticket prices are: Balcony Php 500, Loge Php 1,000, Orchestra Php 1,250. I think this is fairly priced considering it costs over a hundred dollars to watch a Broadway show in New York. (Although, I wait in lines very early or do the lottery and usually get front row tickets for about $25.00!!). You can buy your tickets at Ticketworld online or at Ticketworld outlets in selected National Bookstore branches! This should be a fun show to watch because I think the cast are well-picked! Nope, I am not in any way affiliated with the production nor am I being paid for this promotion. I simply love theater! I didn’t know until now that live theater is alive in the Philippines! and in that case we should support it! The Philippines of all countries need this kind of distraction because everyday life is already crazy as it is! So what if its only "panandaliang ligaya" (short-lived happiness)? Unlike the movies- there’s nothing quite like a live show experience. The performers are talking to you directly and there’s immediate interaction and reaction between the actors and the audience. Enough said.
