I was invited before by friends to watch this. I always turned them down because my expectations were low. I always think that it might be a rip off of Mamma Mia! or Cherie Gil's words ~ a trying hard copy cat because I really loved Mamma Mia! Also, I used to think that Aegis songs were so corny...
however, as years pass by, Aegis songs are just those classic songs that you would like to sing to at videokes. Those classic tagalog songs with the super high octave notes and rough voicing. So I was thinking, yeah...maybe watching the musical wont hurt.
Unfortunately, all of my usual play watching companions have seen them. I dont have anybody to see it with and I dont even know when it will run again. Until an officemate texted that they selling tix for Rak of Aegis to be staged by one of the country's leading theater groups. I grabbed on this chance.
Though the musical was a little long - almost 3 hours, it was still funny. I especially loved the characters of Tolits and Jewel. But whole cast was very good. The theater was very small that even at balcony, we can clearly see the stage. No regrets at all. and P800, it was a steal!
Rak of Aegis ~ it RAKS!!!
