Loosely based on the book The Travels of Marco Polo, Marco Polo: An untold love story the musical will hold an international preview on March 25 & 26 at the CCP. It will then hold preview in Paris on June 17-21. It hopes to make it to London’s West End.
“Author, composer and lyricist Rogelio Saldo Chua, who also serves as the musical’s artistic director, said the two-hour international preview will show major passages, highlighting dramatic conflict, extensive orchestration, and modern choreography,” writes Lester G. Babiera on Inquirer.net.
The musical tells the love story between Venetian explorer Marco Polo, who will be played by Jonathan Wagner and Kublai Khan’s daughter Princess Kogajin, who will be played by Fil-Am Stephanie Reese. “Other Filipinos in the cast are singer Kuya Manzano and veteran stage actors Chinggoy Alonso and Pinky Marquez,” notes the report.
