Ang Huling El Bimbo
After a four-year hiatus, Full House Theater Company’s highly anticipated production, “Ang Huling El Bimbo,” is returning to the stage in April 2023 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Newport World Resorts (previously known as Resorts World Manila).
The musical sensation, which initially opened in July 2018, has had three successful runs at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, with the most recent run closing in August 2019. In 2020, a recorded 2019 performance was made available for streaming on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s social pages, garnering 7 million views in just 48 hours and raising more than Php 12 million in donations for ABS-CBN Foundation. Last December 2021, a concert version entitled “Ang Muling El Bimbo” was also staged at NPAT.
With the music of 90’s band The Eraserheads, the show is written by Dingdong Novenario, with musical direction and arrangements by Myke Salomon, additional scenes and dialogue by Floy Quintos, set design by Gino Gonzales, lighting design by Monino Duque, projection design by GA Fallarme, sound design by Rards Corpus, costume design by Marlon Rivera, and direction and choreography by Dexter M. Santos.
The 2023 production features an exciting mix of new and returning cast members. Gab Pangilinan, Gian Magdangal, and Topper Fabregas will reprise their lead roles as Young Joy, Hector, and Young Anthony, respectively. Sheila Francisco and Jamie Wilson also return as Tiya Dely and Arturo Banlaoi.
Joining them are Anna Francesca Quimno, Natasha Cabrera, Miah Canton, Teetin Villanueva, Julia Santiago, Kalaylah Villanueva, Cara Barredo, Liway Perez, Abi Sulit, and Mica Fajardo as members of the female ensemble. Meanwhile, Red Nuestro, Jasper Jimenez, Stephen Viñas, Jules Dela Paz, Mark Anthony Grantos, Gie Onida, Jordan Andrews, Joshua Bajado, Francis Gatmaytan, Rofe Villarino, Eduardson Evengelio, Emmerson Evengelio, Rapah Manalo, Jep Go, and Fritz Esase make up the male ensemble.
