Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady - A Dalanghita Production (Press Launch Event)

Paano ba maging bida?  Mas maganda na tanong ay, paano nga ba maging leading lady?  Kailangan ba maging sikat? Kailangan ba maganda ka at super talentado?  Baka naman, pwede na ang may kakilala o anak ka ng isang sikat na persona.

Ano man ang kasagutan, lahat yan ay wala sa mundo na isinulat ni Carlo Vergara.  Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady ay isang dating one-act play na naging comic at ngayon ay isang musical na sa mga kamay ng mga namumuno ng Dalanghita Production.

Synopsis:

“Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady” revolves story of two sisters named MELY and VIVA who both yearn to fulfill their dreams. Their sibling relationship and rivalry becomes more complicated due to an unsettled past and a budding romance, all in the context of an ongoing war between the superhero and supervillain teams. Being a maid is tough enough, but when Mely lands a job under a group of superheroes, she steps up to the unique challenge for the sake of her family. The musical takes us through the journey of the characters as each tries to find his/her place in the world where superheroes and supervillains exist.

Kung nabasa nyo na ang comic version nito, maari kayong magtanong kung saan parte ito ng musical at paano nabuo ang mmusical na ito.  Tulad ng sinabi ni Carlo Vergara, ang musical na ito ang magpapakita ng simula at katapusan ng comics.  Sa kanyang paggawa ng musical, maraming katanungan ang lumabas na kung kaya nabuo ang part 1 at part 2 ng obra pang teatro.

Matapos kami pamalasan ng ilang kanta mula sa musical, ng hapon ng Abril 14, isa lang ang masasabi ko . . . ito ay isang dulaang pang entablado na DAPAT PANOORIN!  May action, drama, love story at moral lesson pa!  Ano pa ang kailangan mo?  Dalawang bagay, kasama manood at ticket!
