As a season offering to all young adults, Kids Acts Philippines and MINT College collaborate to proudly present ROMEO AND JULIET”, The Musical, edited with additional lyrics by Luigi Nacario, music by Eugene Belbis, and directed on stage by Meldrig Costuna and Luigi Nacario.
The William Shakespeare's play will be staged, maintaining the classic requirements of the original folio, from costumes to the set.
The music is composed through a fusion of Western and Eastern with a contemporary flavor. Romeo and Juliet is simplified without sacrificing the original texts of Shakespeare to let young adults understand how the play is written.
In the play, dialogues are sung with full observance of how phrases are being read.
In the town of Verona, there were two rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets, involved in a family feud that goes back years before any of the members were born. One night, the Capulets held a supper at their house, inviting friends and relatives of their own. Though a Montague, Romeo attended the party to forget his love for Rosaline. During the night, he met Juliet and immediately fell in love with her. He pursued his feelings towards her.
In the balcony, they confessed their love for each other and agreed to marry the next day, secretly. Friar Lawrence agreed to marry them, thinking it would end the feud between the two families. Romeo killed Tybalt in an angry rage, which caused him to be banished from Verona.
The Capulets planned Juliet's marriage to Count Paris, of which she did not agree. She asked Friar Lawrence to fake her own death by drinking a sleeping potion that would make everyone believe she was truly dead. The Friar agreed and promised to send word to Romeo to meet Juliet when the potion wore off and to rescue her to Mantua. Unfortunately, Romeo didnt receive the message on time. His friend informed him about Juliet's death, and he went right away to her tomb and bade farewell by drinking poison and died. At that time, Juliet awoke and found her husband dead beside her. Sadly, she got Romeos dagger, stabbed herself, and died. The Montagues and Capulets mourned for the two lovers, and with their shared sorrow, they, at last, made peace with each other.
Discover what's in a name that made the houses of the Capulets and the Montagues family feud become a remorseful tragedy ?
