The production uses Blanco and Rivermaya&rsquo;s classics like "214," "Kisapmata," and "Liwanag sa Dilim," also incorporating surprising songs like &ldquo;Isang Bandila.&rdquo; These songs drive the narrative of the whole play. We wouldn&rsquo;t want to spoil you, but just to give you a hint, the plot follows Elesi, an orphan on a quest to uncover his past. He is accompanied by his friend Cris and together, they champion the oppressed.&nbsp;
The stellar lineup of talented artists, such as Anthony Rosaldo, CJ Navato, Nicole Omillo, Khalil Ramos, Vien King, and Alexa Ilacad, gives the plot justice with their performances.
Beyond entertainment, the musical embodies themes of hope, resilience, and unity&mdash;core elements of Blanco&rsquo;s songwriting. So, if you want to experience the story live, Liwanag Sa Dilim runs during all the weekends of March and April. You can purchase your tickets at Ticket2Me.net. See you there, Fam!
