Eraserheads Musical ‘Ang Huling El Bimbo’ is Getting a Re-run and Here are Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

Feb 19, 2019   •   Tynne De Leon

Last year, Resorts World Manila premiered Ang Huling El Bimbo the Musical, a 90s-nostalgia romp set in the backdrop of iconic Eraserheads songs. It was well-received by audiences and was given a two-thumbs-up by Ely Buendia himself. Tickets were completely sold-out despite the additional shows.

This is why on its 10th year, Resorts World Manila is giving audiences another chance to catch Ang Huling El Bimbo at the Newport Performing Arts Theater from March 1 to April 6!

Whether you’ve seen the past run or not, here are reasons why this second run is a must-watch:

 

New plot twists

Last year, isinama nila tayo sa isang kwentong nakakaindak, nakakaaliw, nakakatindig-balahibo. Ngayon, sa pagbabalik ng Ang Huling El Bimbo, nadagdagan pa ang original cast. Introducing the two sets of actors who will bring to life the main characters in this story of friendship, told through the songs of the most iconic ‘90s Pinoy band. #AngHulingElBimbo2019 returns starting March 1 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. #RWManila Buy your tickets now! http://bit.ly/AHEBTickets2019

If you’ve seen the show on its first run, then you may need to watch it again. There will be new twists, according to the artistic team, so you might want to purchase a ticket already (especially if you have unanswered questions from the past run!). The team will also be joined by writer-director extraordinaire Floy Quintos.

 

The spectacular set design

Ewan ko lang sa inyo pero ako, binalik ako ng #anghulingelbimbo sa panahong wala pang tinder at autotune. Para akong nagtime travel. I was brought back to a time when a monggol pencil was used for rewinding and fast forwarding, a time when my guitarist friends’ best friend was the Jingle Magazine, and a time when I could only express my feelings to a girl with a song. Hihi. That’s why for me, that car scene right there is the best scene. Plus, Overdrive and Fill Her hold a special place in my heart, so I couldn’t ask for more. Abot singit yung ngiti ko. Lalo na nung nagkayayaan na sila kumain ng patitocini at iba pang exotic delicacies. Hehe. Ang Huling El Bimbo is a wild, nostalgic trip and a fitting tribute. Grabe ang Eraserheads. Pwede pa gumawa ng sequel or prequel or both sa dami ng magagandang kanta nila. Panoorin niyo with your childhood friends para mas masarap ang kwentuhan pagkatapos manood. Congratulations dear friends and to the whole team behind #anghulingelbimbo2018. Especially @mykesalomononly, maestro Mickey and all the Musicians involved. Maraming salamat. Hanggang ngayon kinikilig pa din yung eardrums ko. Ang sarap. Nakakainspire. Manonood uli ako at magdadala ako ng iba pang tropa na batang 90s. Ikaw, baka gusto mong sumama.💚

Imagine seeing a car, or a well-detailed carinderia on a theater stage–that’s what you’ll expect in a big musical production like Ang Huling El Bimbo the Musical. The play was commended last year for its striking stage design, which was made even more creative by the revolving stage of Newport Arts Theater in Resorts World. You’ll be amazed once you see it for the first time.

 

Nostalgic songs of Eraserheads

hi im myke salomon. I was asked to do Musical Direction for #AngHulingElbimbo … o well.. les ride soon i promise ill take good care of your songs. (random night, just pressuring myself) #anghulingelbimbo2018

The songs of Eraserheads are simply brilliant, and you’ll get to sing-along to them in this musical. Our favorite songs like “Alapaap”, “Pare Ko” and “Tindahan ni Aling Nena” are beautifully stitched together in a story that will probably resonate to those who grew up during the era. Prepare your vocal chords and, of course, tissues!

 

The symbolic costume design

Costume designer Marlon Rivera made sure that the costumes didn’t only represent the era, but also the emotions of the characters. He designed the color-coded outfits by relying both on nostalgia and the shifting of emotions throughout the story. Not-so-spoiler alert: You might see some clothes that were probably in your wardrobe two decades ago!

 

Amazing choreography

Honored to build the set for ‘Ang Huling El Bimbo’. Thank you for having us! . #lightandspace #anghulingelbimbo #setdesign #scenicdesign #stagedesign #theatresetdesign #musical #theatreph #philippinetheater #philippinedesign

One incredible thing about Huling El Bimbo the Musical is its number of back-up dancers. Imagine 20 people on stage dancing to Eraserheads hits with synchronized choreography. It’s a masterpiece.

 

A story that hits home

Surely narinig mo na na ang MARCH 24, 2019, SUNDAY 3PM na show ng ANG HULING EL BIMBO is now AVAILABLE on Ticketworld! Kung hindi pa, taralets and get your tickets! ———————— Sagot na kita, Joy! (Baka sakaling sagutin mo rin ako.) Ha??? Wala! Gutom na ‘ko! May pagkain ka ba diyan? ———————— #anghulingelbimbo2018 #anghulingelbimbo2019

The play revolves around the story of four college friends who unintentionally met up years later to confront their past. If the 90s was your playground, a lot of references will surely hit home. You’d want to watch it over and over again.

 

Signed special edition CDs
