Can Darna sing?
The Filipino musical with gender-bending superhero is going off the stage to your screens as it streams online on May 30.
ZsaZsa Zaturnnah Ze Muzikal will be streaming free on the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ (CCP) YouTube page as part of their #CCPOnline initiative.
It was supposed to be a part of the theater company's musical lineup for its 35th theater season but the schedule was changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For those who might be wondering, May 30 is the target date for the streaming of the Zaturnnah musical. Since it's just a target date, best to wait for the official bonggang announcement of CCP. :) I'm as excited as you are.— Carlo Vergara (@vergaracarlo) May 12, 2020
The Filipino superhero folklore, tackles issues on feminism and LGBTQIA+ rights. The stage musical is written by Chris Martinez with original music and composition by Vincent De Jesus. It is directed by Chris Millado.
In the meantime, refresh your Zaturnnah knowledge by revisiting the 2006 film directed by Joel Lamangan where Zsa Zsa Padilla played Zsazsa the superhero and BB Gandanghari embodied Ada in all the best ways. Not gonna lie, I'm looking forward for Queen Femina Suarestellar Baroux's The Story of Planet X performance.
The Filipino superhero also inspired an animated adaptation produced by Rocketsheep studio.
