Watch ‘Ligo Na U, Lapit Na Me:’ The musical

This is an announcement from UPLB Tabsing Kolektib

MANILA, Philippines – It’s a story of young love. Sexual awakening. Heartbreak.

If you’ve never read Ligo na U, Lapit na Me or watched its film adaptation, now is your chance to see it on stage – with a twist.

“Ligo na U…” is an examination of postmodern love, relationships, and the way the millennial generation deals with their desires and fears.

Street-smart and ordinary Karl Vladimir Lennon J. Villalobos, aka Intoy, has unwittingly fallen into a friend-with-benefits situation with his rich, mysterious, and quirky classmate Jenny. Slowly, as they explore and discover each other’s anatomy, Jenny opens up to Intoy, revealing the vulnerable center to her seemingly impervious facade. But poor, confused Intoy isn’t really equipped to deal with the feelings – and surprises – involved.

The play will run from March 8 to 11 at the NCAS Auditorium of UP Los Baños. “Ligo na U…” is written and directed by Eljay Castro Deldoc, together with direction by Joe Garcia and musical direction by Yuri Sta. Maria.

Shows will be at 4 pm and 7 pm. Tickets are priced at P130. For inquiries, visit Tabsing Kolektib’s official page. – Rappler.com
