We celebrate love, life and individuality in Rent and Sweet Charity that 9Works Theatrical brought in the Philippines few years ago and now another great musical that will be played in the Carlos P.

Everything is great for the of them until Georges’s son Jean-Michel played by Steven Silva who will be bringing the ultra conservative family of his fiancée Anne Dindon who will be alternately played by Missy Macuja-Elizalde and Joni Galeste.
