So. I've been a fan of the Filipino (superhero) comic Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah for a while now, but somehow I'd never found the time to actually catch one of its musicals. I did catch the movie that came out last December, though, and I thought it was a pretty decent rendition. When I heard that they were running the musicals yet again this month, I realized that I *had* to watch it. I went with Tet and Rae and much fun was had by all, and the cast was even kind enough to stay by the doors to pose for pictures and sign autographs. *squee* (Pictures behind the cut).
For the uninitiated, Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah is a local comic about a young gay man (Ada) who owns a beauty parlor in the province. He becomes the gorgeous (and busty) Super Heroine Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah when he swallows a magical stone (pink and phallical, no less XD), and saves the general populace from random evil stuff. His love interest is Dodong, a young provincial man who tends his family's store (and has a crush on Ada's female alter-ego, Zsa Zsa).
The comic itself is already hilarious, but the musical-- with the sights, sounds, and costumes-- just makes it even better. :D And of course, the ending is lovely and poignant because when Ada eventually loses the stone (as well as his power to change into a woman), Dodong loves him anyway.
The final kiss between Ada and Dodong wasn't shown in the comic or the movie, so you can imagine that I went /absolutely/ NUTS when they kissed in the musical. :3 And it helped that the part of Dodong was played by a young man who is a dead ringer for Takuma Sugawara wtf. *_______*
Tet with a deathgrip on Janvier Daily, the guy who plays Dodong.
Rae with Eula Valdes (Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen up close) and Tuxqs Rutaquio (Ada, who is my role-model because he kicks so much ass just by being himself).
