LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS


Merong halaman dito na kumakain ng tao.

Paano at bakit??


Yun ang aabangan mo

dahil nakakagulat at nakakamangha ito.


Mabilis sundan ang kwento. Nakakaaliw ang mga eksena. Masayang pakinggan ang mga kanta. The songs are worthy to be added to your Spotify playlist. Search them all and they will be found.


Karylle’s movements are consistently graceful. Her performance for 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 is truly heartfelt. Nyoy Volante’s singing voice is beautiful, but it cannot be heard sometimes. Either his mic’s volume is too low or his voice is too soft. When he is speaking, the accent that he’s doing tends to take over, making his words unclear. The relationship between the characters of Nyoy and Karylle didn’t quite blossom—probably because of their lack of chemistry.


On her debut performance as a theater actress, Sue Ramirez didn’t disappoint. She added her own flavor to the character. You’d be satisfied with her song interpretations. Reb Atadero has a natural wit and charm that’s suited for the role. He is making some facial expressions that’s amusing to see. All of his performances are delightful. Reb and Sue look good together. Both of them gave an animated portrayal that helped in strengthening their relationship on stage.


You’d be amazed with Markki Stroem’s consecutive costume and accent changes. David Ezra’s quirky and over-the-top portrayal brought laughter and entertainment to the show. Everything that Audie Gemora’s doing is just right.


OJ Mariano has a scary aura and a huge monstrous voice that complemented his role. Although her presence lacks authority and terror, Julia Serad is successful in serving all the money notes. Consisting of Abigail Sulit, Paula Paguio and Mikee Baskiñas/Julia Serad, the Divas in trio are reliable showstoppers and their harmony is heaven to the ears.


The music is sometimes louder than the person who’s singing. Some scenes need a smoother pacing and delivery to better highlight special moments. The musical is spoken and sung in full English. There’s no Filipino flavor to this foreign play, but it would be appreciated if they added some.


There are 2 sets of lead actors wherein SET A has Karylle & Nyoy and SET B has Sue & Reb. The former is more sane and grounded, while the latter is more fun and animated.


“Little Shop of Horrors” is based from a film of the same title. It’s not required to watch the 1989 classic movie, but you’d appreciate this musical more if you’ve already seen the movie. Movie clips are available on YouTube for free.


Pay a visit to the 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘴 and take home with you a souvenir of fun-filled memories. With all the little and big things their shop can offer, it would be horrendous not to watch this musical.
