Such is the topic discussed in this new musical to be staged by Artist Playground in partnership with Red Whistle, an HIV-AIDS educating/support advocacy group. This June be ready for an original Filipino Musical to conquer the stage entitled Roses for Ben.
The artistic team of Roeder Camanag (Director), Jesse Lucas (Musical Director), Rayne Jarabo (Lyricist, Book Writer and Music Planner), along with the rest of Artist Playground have pulled their God-given talents to create this original for stage. During the press/song preview, they are all aiming for this production to go on tour so as to help educate people of all ages in what HIV is and how it may affect your life.
Such is the storyline of this new musical. We have Ben (main character), who has a successful career, a happy relationship with a female - one who we can say as contented in life but suddenly takes a turn for the unknown when he is diagnosed with HIV. This is one disease he got from his ex-boyfriend. Ben is what gen-Z'ers call as gender fluid.
Here is a musical that not only tackles the flight of those with the disease but is written by a youth of the present generation. Rayne Jarabo is a product of the University of Santo Tomas.
Basing it from the song preview that happened, prepare to hear new and familiar music to some of the songs in the musical. It is not a copy of music but simply an influence of what is heard, SIMPLY AN INFLUENCE (to make it clear). With new talents on stage, Artist Playground is truly set to reach-out to the gen-Z'ers and beyond with this material.
Roses for Ben is set to go live on June 15, 2019 at Arts Above 112 West Avenue, Quezon City. For tickets and showdate buying contact Kim at 09759193179
