Just like its title "Buruguduystunstugudunstuy", this musical can get messy and chaotic. The stories per character aren’t tackled well. Some songs are abruptly inserted. All their flaws keep piling up. You are being bombarded by the negativities of this show. You are tempted to give up. But resist temptation, please.
Take one step away.
Change your frame of mind.
Worry less. Enjoy more.
Once you start embracing the imperfections, that’s when it gets beautiful. Eventually, you’d find yourself coming back to this musical.
Out of all the PNE songs, “𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘨” got the most rewarding production number and profound interpretation—that speaks volumes about its lyrics. “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬” has a strong recall because of its straightforward positive message. Different voices harmonizing in “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘠𝘦𝘴 𝘠𝘦𝘴 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸” gave an eargasm. The powerhouse choir version of “𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘔𝘺 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘦” elevated the song in the most entertaining way.
Ang bongga ng set at ng costumes. Goosebumps ang video projection. Minsan mahina ang boses ng ilang aktor kaya sana merong lyrics at subtitles sa screen. Maganda ang areglo sa mga kanta. Ang cute ng aso at ng portrayal ni Kyle Napuli. Mabigat ang karakter ni Boo Gabunada. Magaan at nakakaaliw panuorin si Tex Ordoñez-De Leon. Pang-malakasan ang kanyang boses.
Busog ang mga mata at tenga.
Busog din ang isipan at pakiramdam.
There’s a lot of metaphors tied to each element. These messages should come across naturally to the audience. Explaining everything defeats the purpose of the show. So allow yourself to think whatever you want. That’s where the actual fun begins.
Habang pinapanuod mo ito, akala mo walang mapupuntahan. Akala mo mali, yun pala tama. Hindi ito yung tipong nagseseryoso, pero hindi rin ito yung tipong nagloloko. Iba’t ibang saluobin ang maririnig mo. Minsan nasisintunado sa kaba, minsan nasa bagsakan. Kahit ano pa yan, magigising ka sa ingay nito.
Wake up, Birdie!
The overall story lifts you up, guiding you towards positivity. Just like its title, this musical gave an experience that’s indescribable yet fulfilling. Some songs are uplifting. When you are tempted to give up, resist temptation please.
Take one step away.
Change your frame of mind.
Eventually, you’d find yourself coming back.
Sa pagkakataong iyun, makikita mo ang tunay na halaga at ganda ng #AngPNEmusical.
