Carla Guevara-Laforteza, one of the country's most talented and versatile musical theatre stars, joins the cast of the hit Tony Award winning musical AVENUE Q when it plays it's Farewell Run in Manila in June.
Carla has performed in numerous musicals in Manila including SONG & DANCE, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, SOUTH PACIFIC, THE KING & I, ANNIE, and, internationally, in the London production of MISS SAIGON where she understudied and played the lead role of Kim from 1995 - 1997. She has also appeared in numerous TV Shows and won a STAR AWARD in 2000 for BEST NEW ARTIST FOR TELEVISION.
Carla, who has begun her puppetry training for the show, says, "It is a great pleasure for me to join the cast of Atlantis' Productions Avenue Q, and to finally work with Bobby Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga. I am very grateful to have been given this wonderful opportunity to be part of this award winning production, and to work with such a talented cast." She will be playing the dual role of Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut.
After playing two sold out runs last year, Atlantis Productions brings back AVENUE Q one final time for those who still haven't seen it and those who want to see it again. AVENUE Q is the smash-hit Broadway musical about real life in New York City, as told by a cast of people and puppets through a hilariously irreverent , Tony Award winning book and score. Returning to the show are original cast members Aiza Seguera, Frenchie Dy, Felix Rivera, Rycharde Everley, Teenee Chan and Joel Trinidad.
Directed by Bobby Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga, Atlantis Productions' staging of AVENUE Q will also open in Singapore in late October at the Esplanade Theatre for a 3 week run produced by The Singapore Repertory Theatre. AVENUE Q has Set and Costume Design by Mio Infante, Lighting Design by Jay Aranda, Musical Direction by Jojo Malferari and Vocal Coaching by Man Man Angsico.
AVENUE Q The Farewell Run runs from June 13 - 22, 2008 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati. Tickets are on sale now by calling Ticketworld at 891-999 or Atlantis Productions at 892-7078 or 840-1187.
