Parokya ni Edgar’s second album, Buruguduystunstugudunstuy, released in 1997, was adopted as the title of a major musical carrying the band’s songs. This April, Full House Theater Company will stage the musical at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Newport World Resorts.
The cast and production of ‘Buruguduystunstugudunstuy: Ang Parokya ni Edgar Musical’ are joined by Parokya ni Edgar band frontman Chito Miranda during the presscon. Opening on April 6 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, the musical is the follow-up production from Full House Theater Company, which previously staged ‘Ang Huling El Bimbo: The Musical.’
“This particular musical revolves around four women, who go on a journey to find their true selves,” Menchu added. “They go through the usual life struggles, identity, what am I worth and they find their answers in this story. Musical director and arranger Ejay Yatco chose a total of 47 songs to be on the line-up of “Buruguduystunstugudunstuy.”
“At the same time, we want to pay tribute to the culture of Parokya. The iconic songs need to be included. As a songwriter, I’m trying to have a conversation with everyone.” “That’s why they are so excited to work on the musical. More than being a part of it, I just want to be an audience . “Our first album was titled Khangkhungkermitz. That came out in 1996. I invented those words, but I had no idea what they really meant.”
Unlike other musicals where male leads take centerstage, “Buruguduystunstugudunstuy” spotlights four female artists — Felicity Kyle Napuli, Marynor Madamesila, Natasha Cabrera and Tex de Leon — as the headliners.The musical also has a big cast. Included are Pepe Herrera, Nicco Manalo, Noel Comia, Jasper Jimenez, plus the 14-piece orchestra — from string, percussion to drums.
