Butuin Escalante, like the true star that she is, owned the stage with a riveting performance of “Minsan ang Minahal ay Ako” from the musical “Katy”. Her song was only for a sound check.
Taking the center stage was so natural for the 2002 winner of the ABS-CBN Himig Handog Love Songs Competition. Bituin stunned her fellow performers with her striking red hair and powerful voice. An American cast who didn’t even understand the lyrics was “dumbfounded” by the performance.
The online world took notice too, as the video of the sound check posted by the pianist Daphne Cabaguio Jocson has now gone viral with more than 80,000 views and hundreds of shares on social media.
The sound check was for the erotic satire 50 Shades! A Musical Parody, where Bituin takes on the role of Carol, a conservative housewife who later blooms into a hilariously aggressive woman.
You still have until this weekend to catch her and the rest of the performers at 50 Shades! A Musical Parody. If Bituin’s sound check was this breathtaking, we can only imagine how good the actual performance will be.
They’re having six shows this weekend, and it’s your last chance to catch them.
Catch 50 Shades! A Musical Parody this weekend! 4th Floor, RCBC Plaza, Ayala Ave., cor. Gil Puyat Ave. Makati; ,2pm, 5pm and 8pm +63 2 8891246. Tickets start atPHP1500
