The musical was written by Vincent de Jesus, the same person behind the brilliant stage plays including Skin Deep, Juan Tamad, Batang Rizal and Care Divas.
Changing Partners, is de Jesus’ first piece that weaves heterosexual and LGBT relationships in the most unpredictable way possible. Vincent shared that his inspiration for the play’s form and content stems from watching a theater rehearsal. “There I was, watching a run through. The male lead was absent. Naturally, the stage manager, who’s lesbian, read his part. It was a scene between a husband and his wife. The energy and dynamics of the scene felt completely different because of the fact that it was being read by two women. Very interesting, I thought. I could write a musical using this form — one couple, played in different genders.” He added.
