A story originally told over a serialized comic strip by fictionist Nerissa Cabral, “Bituing Walang Ningning” was made into a blockbuster movie in 1985 starring Sharon Cuneta, Cherie Gil and Christopher De Leon, and was then remade into a hit TV series in 2006 with Sarah Geronimo, Angelika dela Cruz, and Ryan Agoncillo playing the lead roles.
Similar to how the plot of the story unfolded, the doors are open for aspirants to play the lead role of Dorina Pineda.
Staying true to its advocacy to “Champion the Filipino” by supporting local artists and promoting performing arts, RWM together with Full House Theater Company and Viva will hold auditions for the lead of “Bituing Walang Ningning: The Musical.”
