the way I just know musical tumblr and the rest of the internet would be obsessed with Mula sa Buwan (musical retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac set in 1940s WWII Philippines) but it’s locked behind a language barrier

#like cmon #myke salomon’s portrayal of cyrano was so 💗#playful charming confident idealistic (mildly homoerotic) sincere #a cabaret of misfit student leaders who are childhood friends #being led by a trans woman #AND SHE HAS A WHOLE POWERHOUSE NUMBER ABOUT BEING FREE #which is like yknow about gender and identity expression but also alluding to the japanese colonization of the philippines #there’s also a swordfight rap battle at the start and a song where cyrano jokes about his nose to hide his insecurity using dick euphemisms #and he’s a poet like the original so his comebacks >>>>#and cyrano and roxane are childhood friends here (not cousins lmao) and they act so much like best friends it’s so cute #and he supports her dreams of being a fighter and living her own life but unfortunately society was very set on gender roles #and the music FUCCKKKKKKKKK #‘lahat ng tao’y nakangiti sa buwan / ako’y mula sa buwan (on the moon everyone’s smiling / I must be from the moon)#and then the love song that confident witty cyrano sings while pining after roxane from afar #and the duet they sing together at night where he confesses everything under another man’s name and she’s unaware but it’s still so sweet #there’s love and revolution and friendship and family and growth #CAST RECORDING PLS #gab pangilinan’s voice >>>>#mula sa buwan #musicals #theater
