I am leaving again in a few hours so couldn't stay for opening night so was happy to go to the press preview tonight of Atlantis Productions "Legally Blonde"...

Atlantis rocks! To tell you the truth, when I first found out that they had cast Nikki Gil as Elle Woods, I was not a believer. Not that I don't find Nikki talented because I do. Just that it is such a major role for someone who has not really had a lot of theater experience. But I shouldn't have doubted the tandem of Bobby Garcia & Chari Arespacochaga. They seem to have impeccable taste as far as casting. I have to say Nikki Gil was deeelightful! She was sweet, charming and totally believable as Elle Woods.

The cast is comprised for a very talented group- a mix of young and not so young theater artists. Special Mention goes to the sexy Geneva Cruz as the woman on trial Fitness Queen Brooke Wyndam, Cris Villonco as Vivian, Nyoy Volante as Emmett, Guji Lorenzana as Warner, Jett Pangan as the Professor, Jinky Llamanzares as Paulette, Felix Rivera as the pool boy, Jenny Jamora as the daughter of the murdered millionaire and the very "sexy" UPS guy Calvin Millado.

The talented ensemble comprised among others of Joel Trinidad, Emy Trinidad, Anthony Ong, Kaich Tiuseco,etc contributed to the all around entertainment of Legally Blonde at the Meralco Theater.

Better get your tickets now as I hear the first two weekends are practically sold out.
