Bluerep is doing it again!
A few years ago, in the sauna bath of a performance space that was Gonzaga Exhibit Hall in Ateneo, the country’s premiere musical theater organization mounted one of its best shows yet.
The show was called BARE and it saw my leading men from All Shook Up (a musical I co-directed), Bibo Reyes and Amos Francia being each other’s leading men for this gay-themed rock operatic musical. The show was directed by idol Ana Abad Santos and was assistant directed by my pal Bea Garcia, and seemed the perfect embodiment of the gritty and nuanced vitality that Bluerep is all too capable of. The show was tailor-fit for the org, and it was probably one of its best shows yet.
The crazy core was holding back on its season ender ‘til the very last minute. From Little Shop to Black Prom, what was next? A couple of months ago, the announcement finally came. They’re doing it again - BARE: The Musical for its season finale. Be sure to mark your calendars for the audition. There is no specific date yet but don’t miss out on the opportunity to experience the org from which hailed most of the who’s who of theater today. Amazing!
Congrats in advance Bluerep! I love you with all my heart.

Listened to this song yesterday. Saw it in a whole new light.

Ivy:
let's make the later sooner. a minute can crawl by you have something you want real bad. I spent the whole party just waiting for us to be alone, but then you must have known. or perhaps you haven't noticed how I stare. are you scared?
Jason:
why should I be frightened?
Ivy:
I don't know, but still I can see it in your eyes. they say "I'm not surprised."
Jason:
at what?
Ivy:
that I want to kiss you. I've wanted to kiss you for so long.
Jason:
you're wasted, and this is wrong.
Ivy:
but why?
Jason:
it could wreck our friendship.
Ivy:
I don't know, I think you're intrigued.
Jason:
and why is that?
Ivy:
I see what you're staring at. do I see some life stirring in your jeans? how obscene.
...
Ivy:
don't you want to kiss me? don't you want me just like I want you? please grant the girl her birthday wish
Jason:
ok, one kiss...

We whisper words when we’re alone at night; I wanna hear them in the morning light.
