REVIEWS

“Ms. Macapugay (Imelda) is clearly a pro (with a)..strong, clear appealing voice...Two numbers performed by the male leads (Mel Maghuyop and Brian Jose) “Maharlika” and “If I Had Raised the Butterfly” are among the standouts!” 10/8/09 Anita Gates

“You didn’t think they’d ignore the shoes, did you? The new musical, IMELDA deals with its title character’s passion early on, in the comic number “3,000 Pairs of Shoes”… Nathan Wang’s music and Aaron Coleman’s lyrics are pleasant…“Martial Law with a Smile,” display (s) the satirical bite the subject matter demands…Tim Dang’s staging is effective, as are the lead performances.”

“...an affecting new musical...one comes away feeling pleasantly entertained and genuinely invested in the political and human dramas of the historical narrative!”
10/1/09 Lisa Jo Sagolla



“ Nathan Wang’s music has ... bounce, and the irony of Aaron Coleman’s lyrics... are thick... and that’s the fun of it. As for those 3,000 pairs of shoes famously found in Imelda’s wardrobe when she and her husband fled the palace ...they are in the show and should take a bow!”
