Previously staged by Actor’s Actors Inc. (AAI), this critically-acclaimed run will feature a sophomore cast that includes singing sensation Bituin Escalante, Michael Williams and Menchu Lauchenco-Yulo (both fresh from playing lead roles in Repertory Philippines’ Man of La Mancha), and The Dawn’s legendary frontman Jett Pangan – as the mythical gods of the Island.

It comes right before opening night, which is fierce enough, and when the artists are barely prepared, confident or secure in their roles. They perform during a dress/tech rehearsal in revolting stress and before an audience that can destroy their careers forever. So when I went to see Once on This Island on press night, I knew what the cast and crew were going through.

Dashed with comic scenes and lighthearted moments, this musical probes straight to the core of this painful, rewarding and amusing universal experience with warmth, sensitivity and humor.

We went through several musicals and for one reason or another, we didn’t think it was the right choice. Somewhere in our conversation, we simultaneously said, "What about Baby?" And so we found our musical to mark our fifth anniversary of producing theater.
