Veteran stage actor and director Jaime del Mundo ("Mind's Eye," "Peter Pan") directs Marquez, Atadero, and Barredo, along with Jeremy Domingo, Angela Padilla, Nathalie Everett, and Joel Trinidad, for this Repertory Philippines' (Rep) 76th season third offering, which was preceded by Marc Camoletti's sex comedy "Boeing-Boeing" and Douglas J. Cohen's musical comedy "No Way to Treat a Lady."
Jim Eiler and Jeanne Bargy's children's musical "Alice in Wonderland" and Mel Brooks' musical comedy "The Producers" are next in line at Rep.
