With the biggest Jackpot now in Ultra Lotto, everybody is
asking for miracle, that they can have the winning number combination, that
they win the jackpot and change their lives forever. Just like this musical
Guadalupe, it answers a question that we need miracle, for us to have strong
faith and earn the living that we want.
Guadalupe The Musical, Julie Borromeo’s Performing Arts
Foundation, Inc current theater offering will help you realize that, there are
miracles in life that we forgot to acknowledge, this are little miracles that we
encounter in our daily lives, that instead of saying thank you, we ignore it because
we aspire to be bigger, but this play made me realize a common cliché,
sometimes dreams happen for those who are deserving to make it a reality, and
that person don’t ask for that.
It is a superb musical to watch out for, even for non-Catholic
it is worth a try due to its entertainment value, from the lighting design by
John Batalla, the beautiful costumes, the wonderful choreography, and the music
by Ejay Yatco, I have to admit it that it all works beautifully when combine.
Guadalupe The Musical tell the story of poor peasant Juan
Diego from Mexico, his tale of seeing the Virgin Mary shape his sleepy town to
what is now the most visited pilgrimage in the world, and the three miracles
that he experience with the Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Cocoy Laurel is playing Juan Diego, I admit that my last
memory of Mr. Laurel is thru his film Lollipops and Roses along with Superstar Nora
Aunor, its my first time to see him onstage and he really did well not to
mention his longevity in the industry, he can still move rocks with his looks
and of course his powerful singing voice.
Other notable performances in this musical is Lorenz
Martinez as Archbishop Juan De Zumarraga, his presence on stage is a strong one
that fit for the character he is portraying, not to forgot the multi task tour
guide, narrator and Virgin Mary too, she is so beautiful with the blue veil and
so immaculate in the stage.
